Svitolina books last-four spot at WTA Finals by beating Sabalenka

Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina secured a spot in the last four of the WTA Finals after defeating her opponent Aryna Sabalenka. The match was a roller coaster, with Svitolina falling behind to start the first set but recovering to lead the rest of the game. She then broke Sabalenka's serve three times in the third set, despite her opponent rallying to level the score at 3-3.

Sabalenka managed to save three match points but ultimately fell short, marking Svitolina's first victory in six encounters against the world number two. Post-match, Svitolina expressed her satisfaction with her performance, noting the challenging nature of the match. She will now face Wimbledon champion Linda Noskov in the semi-final round.

In the same tournament, French Open champion Andreeva, who defeated Diana Shnaider 6-1, 6-1, is set to face Jessica Pegula in her semi-final.
