RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Jessica Pegula has withdrawn from her last match at the WTA Finals because of a left knee injury. The American had lost her first two matches and was already eliminated from semifinal contention at the season-ending tournament. She will be replaced in the Orange Group by first alternate and ninth-ranked Daria Kasatkina. The sixth-ranked Pegula, who was scheduled to play second-ranked Iga Swiatek on Thursday in her last round-robin match, said she decided to withdraw because she was not feeling "comfortable moving on court."
