Andreeva and Svitolina Win in Straight Sets to Reach WTA Finals Title Match
INDIAN WELLS, California — Mirra Andreeva and Elina Svitolina both won in straight sets in the WTA Finals semifinals on Saturday, November 14, and will meet again in the title match on Sunday, November 15.
Andreeva defeated Jessica Pegula 6-3, 6-4. She trailed 3-1 in the second set before winning five of the last six games to close it out. The WTA noted that Andreeva has yet to drop a set at the event and, at 19, became the first teenager to reach the final of the season-ending event since 2004.
Svitolina defeated Linda Noskova 6-2, 6-1, breaking serve three times in the opening set and racing to a 5-0 lead in the second. Svitolina has reached the final in all three of her trips to the year-end event.
The two met in round-robin play earlier in the week, when Andreeva won 6-4, 6-0, making Sunday's final in Indian Wells a rematch.
