Mirra Andreeva beats Jessica Pegula to reach title match of the WTA Finals
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) — At the WTA Finals on Saturday, 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva stunned Jessica Pegula, 6-3, 6-4, to advance to the title match. Andreeva, the first teenager to achieve this since 2004, demonstrated her dominance by not dropping a set during the season-ending event. She only lost 11 games, the fewest of any player since 2003, as she swept her round-robin matches 3-0.
Andreeva's victory propelled her towards securing the second world ranking for the year. Pegula, despite her five consecutive Finals appearances, lost her fifth final. Should Andreeva triumph, she will face either Svitolina or Wimbledon champion Noskova in the final.
