Two-set victories
Gauff and Zheng in the final of the WTA Finals
Coco Gauff from the USA and Zheng Qinwen from China will face each other in the final of the WTA Finals in Riyadh. Both prevailed in the semi-finals in two sets on Friday.
Gauff put in a strong performance against world number one Aryna Sabalenka. With four breaks in a row, she took the second set against the Belarusian and won 7:6(4),6:3. Zheng was convincing in her semi-final with a 6:3,7:5 against the Czech Barbora Krejcikova.
The 22-year-old thus crowned her best season to date, in which she reached a Grand Slam final (Australian Open) for the first time and became Olympic champion in Paris. Zheng is only the second Chinese woman to reach the final of the WTA Finals. Before her, only Li Na had achieved this. She lost to Serena Williams in Istanbul in 2013. Now it will be another Chinese-American duel. The triumph would be a first for both players.
