Defending champion Iga Swiatek has been eliminated from the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia after Barbora Krejcikova defeated Coco Gauff. Despite Swiatek’s impressive win over Daria Kasatkina, she needed Gauff to win her match to advance. Krejcikova’s victory secured her a place in the semi-finals while Swiatek was ousted from the competition. Krejcikova will now face Zheng Qinwen, and Gauff is set to play Aryna Sabalenka in the knockout stage on Friday.
