The 19-year-old Russian champion, Elina Svitolina, also advanced after defeating Karolina Muchova 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. Andreeva held her ground despite being down 4-1 in the first set, ultimately winning the last 11 games. She expressed immense happiness and energy following her win, stating she feels like she can play another two matches. Andreeva, who won her maiden major at Roland Garros this year, is participating in the WTA Finals for the first time. Sabalenka, the world number three, struggled early in the match, but managed to save three break points. However, Andreeva capitalized on three break points, including a swinging volley winner and another break when Sabalenka hit a forehand long. Sabalenka now has a chance to advance if she wins her final round-robin match against Svitolina on Friday.",
