Gauff saves three set points to beat Kostyuk and keep WTA Finals hopes alive

Coco Gauff beat Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 7-5 at the WTA Finals in Indian Wells, keeping her chance of reaching the semi-finals alive. The world No 4 must still rely on another result: if Jessica Pegula beats Linda Noskova in the final group match, Pegula will advance instead.

Gauff recovered from a 5-1 deficit in the second set, saving three set points before winning six games in a row to close out the match. She also came back after falling behind by two breaks and receiving treatment for back tightness; Kostyuk had treatment on her right wrist. Gauff hit nine double faults during the one-hour, 39-minute match.
