Jessica Pegula fired a career-high 16 aces to advance to the semifinals of the WTA Finals in a three-set win against Linda Noskova. Pegula fired a career-high 16 aces and won 7-6 (2), 4-6, 7-5 while surviving a match point in the third set to secure her spot. Noskova had already advanced, and Pegula's victory eliminated Coco Gauff from the $10 million, season-ending competition. Earlier, Gauff rallied to beat Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 7-5 despite dealing with back issues in what turned out to be her final match of the year.
