Barbora Krejcikova beat Sofia Kenin 6-4 2-6 6-4 in the final of the San Diego Open to win her second singles title of the year and seventh of her career. The two players both entered on wildcards and proved the value of such entries at this level, treating the sell-out crowd of 2,628 fans to 2:39 hours of tennis.

Demonstrating how close the match was, the winner only had three total points more than the runner-up, 105 and 102. Kenin saved 8/12 break points, a higher percentage than her opponent, but it was not enough in the end.
