Svitolina stays in WTA Finals hunt after remarkable fightback sees off Muchova

Elina Svitolina fought back from a set down to beat Karolina Muchova at the WTA Finals, keeping her hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive. The result matters because a defeat would have eliminated her from the tournament.

Svitolina won 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 after taking an eight-minute medical timeout. She had lost her opening match 6-4, 6-0 to Mirra Andreeva, who later beat Aryna Sabalenka by the same score to secure a semi-final place and top Group B; Svitolina now faces Sabalenka for second place.
