WTA Finals in Cancun – Despite 17 double faults: Gauff gets semi-final ticket – Sport – SRF Jump to content Sport WTA Tour Current article Content
The young American reached the semi-finals of the WTA Finals just like Iga Swiatek. But a show of strength was necessary.
The semi-final field at the WTA Finals in Cancun is complete: After Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula in the Bacalar group, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek secured progression in the Chetumal group. While the Polish Swiatek only lost 3 games against Ons Jabeur (6:1, 6:2), Gauff had to fight significantly more.
The 19-year-old US Open winner stood on the court against Marketa Vondrousova for almost two and a half hours before she won 5:7, 7:6 (7:4), 6:3. Gauff made no less than 17 double faults against the Czech. In the second set she had her back against the wall when her opponent served to win the match at 6:5. But she managed the rebreak and shortly afterwards equalized the set.
US duel and number 1 duel
In the semi-finals, Gauff will face her compatriot Jessica Pegula, with whom she will also play the doubles in Mexico. Pegula had shown just as flawless a preliminary round with 3 wins as Swiatek in the other group. The Pole will face world number 1 Sabalenka. The Belarusian replaced Swiatek at the top of the world rankings in September.
If Sabalenka wins, she will finish the year in first place. A defeat, on the other hand, would give Swiatek the opportunity to reclaim the throne. But for that she would have to win the tournament.
