Coco Gauff triumphed over Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling match to secure her place in the WTA Finals, defeating the world No. 1 with a score of 7-6 (4), 6-3 in Riyadh. Gauff's victory sets up a final showdown against Zheng Qinwen, who earlier defeated Barbora Krejcikova in the other semi-final.

However, this time around, Gauff showcased her growth as a player. At just 20 years old, she has been on the tour for five years, and her recent adjustments in gameplay have led to some of the best performances of her career. In her match against Sabalenka, Gauff delivered an impressive display, demonstrating her improved skills and resilience. Her victory not only highlights her potential but also marks a significant milestone in her journey as she advances to the final of the WTA Finals.
