Because of rain, the world number one Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus and Iga Swiatek had to abandon their semi-final at the WTA Finals in Cancún when the score was 2-1 in the first set for the Pole. Both top stars sat on the pitch wrapped in towels under umbrellas on Saturday (local time), but the wait was in vain.
The semi-finals are now scheduled to end on Sunday. The players had complained several times about the poor conditions in Mexico, such as too few and poor training pitches. Jessica Pegula was the first player to reach the final. The 29-year-old defeated her American doubles partner Coco Gauff 6:2, 6:1 in one hour in the semifinals, which had to be interrupted several times.
