The fate of reaching the semi-finals for Iga depends on the result of the meeting between Coco Gauff and Barbora Krejcikova
World number two Iga Šwiętek beat “neutral” Daria Kasatkina in the third round of singles Final WTA tournament. Let us note that Kasatkina replaced the injured player at the tournament. Jessica Pegulu.
The match lasted only 53 minutes. In the opening set, Iga gave only one game to her opponent (and even that, with the score 5:0 in her favor), and won the second game 6:0. In terms of the number of winners, the balance of power is 15:1 in favor of Schwiatek, which clearly characterizes what is happening on the court in Riyadh.
The fate of Swiatek’s progress to the semi-finals depends on the final match in the group between Coco Gauff and Barbora Krejcikova. Ige only needs a victory for Gauff, which will provide her with second place in the group; if Krejcikova wins, Sventek will only be third and will not advance further, since with an equal number of points she will have a worse set difference in relation to her opponents.
The meeting between Coco Gauff and Barbora Krejcikova will take place today. Start – no earlier than 17:00 Kyiv time.
