WTA Finals: Coco Gauff Beats Jessica Pegula and Linda Noskova Beats Marta Kostyuk

Pegula advanced on a set-percentage tiebreak after all three players finished 2-1 in the group, ending Gauff’s bid for the semifinals.

  • On Thursday, American Jessica Pegula saved a match point to defeat Linda Noskova in a 2-hour and 45-minute battle at the WTA Finals in Indian Wells, securing her spot in the semifinals.
  • The tournament, relocated from Riyadh to Indian Wells amid the United States-Israel war on Iran, featured Pegula recording a career-high 16 aces while Noskova committed a career-high 15 double faults.
  • Despite American Coco Gauff rallying to defeat alternate Marta Kostyuk on Thursday, the victory was insufficient to secure her advancement, resulting in the American's elimination from the championships.
  • Pegula next faces Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals on Saturday; she previously called Andreeva "a diva" who "needs to be humbled" in livestreamed comments before apologizing.
  • Reflecting on the marathon match, Pegula told reporters, "I've learned that sometimes the serve feels good and sometimes it doesn't, and how to manage the days when it doesn't and to ride it when you are serving well.
