The WTA Finals semi-finals will be configured in the last match of the group stage to be played Coco Gauff already Barbora Krejcikova. This will happen after the resounding success of Iga Swiatek against Daria Kasatkina in the meeting that opened the last day of the group.
Through 6-1 and 6-0 The Pole dominated the Russian, who came as a substitute to play on the final day after the retirement of Jessica Pegula. This meant that the group resolution was, and continues to be, postponed until the second match of the day, the one between Gauff and Krejcikova. With the American already assured of first place, the Czech would be second if he wins, but if he loses he will let Swiatek into the semifinals.
Knowing that your future is in other hands, Swiatek became Swiatek for the first time in this tournament. The Pole broke free from the back of the court, settled the game better on her serves and had the comfort she lacked in the two previous duels against Krejcikova and Gauff.
Able to open angles, distribute the game and attack forehand and backhand from the baseline to get winning shots, The Polish woman did not enter at any time in a match against a completely outclassed Kasatkina who, in her only match at this tournament, barely lasted fifty-one minutes on court.
In this way, Swiatek is left to see if he can extend his presence in the tournament, which Aryna Sabalenka the rival is waiting. If he does not do this, his presence in Riyadh will end with two victories and one defeat. Gauff and Krejcikova They have the last word.
