Svitolina, who won the WTA Finals in 2018, lost to Ashleigh Barty in the final the following year but returned this year to beat Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova 6-2, 6-1, earning a chance to win another title. Andreeva, the youngest player to make the final since 2004, is now second in the world rankings following her straight-set victories over top-ranked Svitolina, Aryna Sabalenka, and Diana Shnaider. Pegula's fifth-round American missed chances in the first set, but Andreeva held to win 5-3. Pegula broke back in the next game but Andreeva held to take the first set. In the second set, Pegula extended the lead 3-1, but Andreeva broke back immediately in the fourth game of the second set and won the match 5-3, finishing in one hour and 25 minutes. Svitolina, who will face Andreeva in the final, said she did \"pretty much everything\" well against Noskova, who made 11 double faults.",
