Sobolenko and Sakkari reach semi-finals in WTA Finals
The last of the quartet – the third in a row – meeting schedule opened with a meeting between American Jessica Pegula (No. 3 WTA) and Arina Sobolenko (No. 7 WTA).
In 1 hour and 32 minutes, Pegula opened her arms in front of her opponent, whom she had defeated in two sets. This failure left the American out of the tournament’s playoffs.
In the second match of the day, Greek tennis player Maria Sakkari (No. 5 WTA) and Ons Jaber from Tunisia (No. 2 WTA) found out about the affair.
They determined the strongest faster than the previous game – in 1 hour 9 minutes. Sakkari won the third match of the tournament in two sets and became the winner of the group. He and Sobolenko earned the right to play in the semi-finals of the WTA Finals.
