Sabalenka suffers, but prevails over Pegula and edges closer to a spot in the WTA Finals semifinals

Aryna Sabalenka had to push herself to the limit to secure the victory in her second match of the WTA Finals. Her opponent, Jessica Pegula, had previously defeated Coco Gauff in her opening match and once again posed difficulties for the Belarusian. However, the world number one managed to withstand the challenge and clinched the win in three sets with a score of 6-4, 2-6, 6-3, after two hours and four minutes. Despite having two wins, Sabalenka is not mathematically qualified for the semifinals yet, although it seems highly likely: simply winning a set against Gauff would secure her the top spot in the group. But if she loses in straight sets, she would need to rely on calculations after observing the match between Jessica Pegula and Jasmine Paolini.
