Indian Wells (California) [US], November 12: Linda Noskova became the first player to book a semi-final spot at the WTA Finals in Indian Wells after her 6-3, 6-3 victory over Coco Gauff made it two wins from two. Gauff, with one win already under her belt, was hoping to advance to the last four as group winner, but she was never in the hunt against her Czech opponent, making her debut in the tournament.
'It leaves Gauff fighting for the second semi-final spot with Jessica Pegula, who fought back from 5-4 down in the second set to beat Marta Kostyuk 6-2, 7-5 and keep her chances alive. Defeat eliminated Kostyuk, who was called in as an alternate. (PA Media/DPA)
