Pegula, seeking her first title, broke early for a 3-1 lead in the first set before Parmentier battled back.

Serving for the set, the Frenchwoman came back from a 0-30 deficit and closed out the set four points later on another forehand winner.

Parmentier opened up a 4-0 lead in the second set and served out the match after Pegula had closed to within 5-2.
