## Summary

Linda Noskova beat Coco Gauff 6-3 6-3 to become the first player to reach the semi-finals of the WTA Finals, on her tournament debut. The Wimbledon champion’s composed, aggressive play and strong serving overwhelmed Gauff, whose serve faltered.

Noskova, 21 and ranked eighth, broke Gauff four times in the first set and made just one unforced error in a dominant second. The win was her sixth against a top-10 player this season. Gauff can still qualify, as can Jessica Pegula, who beat substitute Marta Kostyuk 6-2 7-5 to secure her first win since September and eliminate the Ukrainian.
