WTA Finals - Gauff, second qualifier for the semi-finals

After Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff has now qualified for the semi-finals of this year's Masters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Showing no mercy to her compatriot Jessica Pegula on Sunday (6-3, 6-2), the 20-year-old American dominated with great authority an Iga Swiatek still in search of her best form (6-3, 6-4).

Taking advantage of a Pole who was more erratic than ever (48 unforced errors), Gauff maintained sufficient intensity of play, both on serve and in the exchanges, to secure victory in two sets.

For her part, the world number 2 will play out her place in this tournament on the final day of the group phase, against an already eliminated Jessica Pegula.
