RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Coco Gauff has earned her second career win over Iga Swiatek, winning 6-3, 6-4 to reach the semifinals of the WTA Finals. It was Gauff's first victory over Swiatek since the 2023 Cincinnati Open. The result snapped Swiatek's six-match win streak at the finals. The win moved Gauff to 2-0 in the Orange Group, while Swiatek fell to 1-1. Swiatek had rallied to beat Barbora Krejcikova in three sets on Sunday in her first match in two months. Krejcikova, the Wimbledon champion, kept her chances of advancing alive with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Jessica Pegula. The result eliminated Pegula, who lost in straight sets to Gauff in their opening match in Saudi Arabia.
