Los Angeles, United States – Jessica Pegula saved a match point on the way to a three-set victory over Linda Noskova on Thursday to book her WTA Finals last-four berth as Coco Gauff was eliminated.
Fifth-ranked American Pegula fired a career-high 16 aces to come up with a 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 7-5 victory in the must-win match against Wimbledon champion Noskova.
Her triumph, in the final group one round-robin match, meant world No. 4 Gauff was eliminated from the elite season-ending event despite her gritty 6-4, 7-5 victory over Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk.
