Building on the momentum of its first two years, the 2025 ATX Open delivered another standout week of world class tennis, community engagement, and high energy entertainment. As the largest women’s professional sporting event in Austin and the only tour level professional women’s tennis tournament held annually in Texas, the tournament continues to raise the bar as a premier event that is part of the Hologic WTA Tour.
This year, the ATX Open made history with its first-ever All-American final. Jessica Pegula, ranked No. 4 in the world, captured her seventh career title and first of 2025 with a commanding 7–5, 6–2 victory over McCartney Kessler. Their final, played in front of a sold-out crowd at Westwood Country Club’s Center Court, marked the first WTA all-American final on U.S. soil since 2017. Pegula, competing in Austin for the first time, impressed fans throughout the week with her focused play and composure under pressure.
“I really wanted it today,” Pegula said after the match. “I feel like I get extra fired up playing against an American too. It was a really fun week. I really enjoyed myself hereand I’m happy to walk away with the title.”
Off the court, the Ladies’ Day Brunch offered a full-service dining experience with curated bites, beverages, and music by DJ KICKIT. Guests browsed pop-ups from Kendra Scott, CourtLife, Richsport, and Blue Gardenia Boutique before a Q&A and photo op with WTA star Ajla Tomljanović. Guests also entered a luxury raffle and were invited to donate towards New Hope Animal Rescue. The tournament also drew a few familiar faces—including Matthew McConaughey, who attended matches throughout the week and showed his enthusiasm for the sport and the tournament’s positive impact on the city.
With each passing year, the ATX Open continues to grow as a defining part of Austin’s professional sports scene. Organized by DropShot, LLC, the ATX Open featured a 32-player singles draw and 16-team doubles draw, bringing global talent to Austin and broadcasting to audiences worldwide.
As Tournament Director Christo Van Rensburg shared, “We were thrilled for Jessica and McCartney to face off in a historic all-American final.” He added, “We were blessed this week with beautiful weather, an energetic crowd, and world-class players. Thank you to all our fans, sponsors, and wonderful hosts at Westwood Country Club. We are already looking forward to the 2026 ATX Open!”
