Czech Barbora Krejcikova maintained her chances of qualifying for the semifinals of the WTA finals in Riyadh thanks to a comfortable 6-3, 6-3 victory over American Jessica Pegula, who suffered her second loss and left with no chance.
The Czech, this year’s winner at Wimbledon and with a back injury that has affected his season, offered good moments, similar to those that led him to win a set against Iga Swiatek in his first match, but this time was able to finish, against Pegula’s weak game.
The North American finished the match with a balanced six winning shots, compared to 22 for his Czech rival, who will be playing for a place in the semifinals on the final day of the group stage.
Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff will play this Tuesday afternoon in search of their second win and defeat.
In the doubles tournament, Italian Olympic champions Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini fell to Gabriela Dabrowski (CAN) and Erin Routliffe (NZL) 1-6, 7-6 (1) and 11-9 and qualification is still pending. .
