Pegula entered Charleston after a close runner-up finish in Miami. She started her campaign by cruising past Iryna Shymanovich, Ajla Tomljanovic and Danielle Collins in the first few rounds and then overpowered Ekaterina Alexandrova en route to the final. The top seed outfoxed Alexandra in an absorbing three-set bout 6-2, 2-6, 7-5.

Meanwhile, Sofia Kenin entered Charleston after second-round exits in Indian Wells and Miami. She's been sensational at the event so far by eliminating four of the top 20 seeds en route to the final. Kenin defeated the likes of Belinda Bencic, Daria Kasatkina, Anna Kalinskaya, and Amanda Anisimova. She secured the win midway through the semifinal as Anisimova was forced to retire due to injury.
