Mirra Andreeva is expected to continue looking spotless in WTA Finals debut and move past Jessica Pegula in semifinals.
Match News and Form
Mirra Andreeva had a late change of opponent for her final round-robin match, but it did not matter as the 19-year-old, who had already qualified for the semifinals, topped Diana Shnaider, 6-2, 6-1. It is in keeping with her 6-4, 6-0 wins over Elina Svitolina and Aryna Sabalenka.
Andreeva defined the season after winning 22 of 25 matches in the clay swing, which included a final in Madrid and titles in Linz and Roland-Garros. She has been equally as devastating on hard courts after winning 13 of her last 16 matches, leading to quarterfinal at US Open and a final in Beijing.
Jessica Pegula qualified for the semifinals after winning a hectic match against Linda Noskova on Friday that lasted two hours and 45 minutes. The World No. 5 saved a match point before edging the Czech, 7-6, 4-6, 7-5, overcoming her mixed start to her fifth career WTA Finals campaign.
Pegula had managed to win a set during her defeat to Coco Gauff earlier in the tournament, which proved to be the deciding factor in the semifinal race. The 32-year-old would be hoping to finish the year on a high after entering her ninth semifinal of the season, seventh on hard courts.
