WTA YEC Riyadh 11/2 - 11/9 2024

[ptmcmahon]

Unless Gauff takes it easy in next match since she’s already through. Although probably would want to avoid Sabalenka in semis

[skatingfan]

I didn't realize the WTA had gotten rid of the WTA Elite Trophy this year.

[ashkor87]

Good thing too

[ptmcmahon]

Zheng beats Poalini 6-1 6-1 to get second in group A.

[jazzyg]

Gauff is going to lose to whomever she faces in the semifinals, and that's not a commentary on her.

Sabalenka and Zheng are far and away the the No. 1 and No. 2 players in the world on form right now.

"Jessica Pegula has withdrawn from her last match in Royadh with a case of 'I could not care less about the money because I am the only player here that can look at one of these sheiks in the eye and call him B****' but I will say it is my ankle"
Better?

[JTContinental]

Her scorelines have been uncharacteristically uninspired, so there could be a niggling injury.

[mick1303]

Does it make any difference for Swiatek that she beat Kasatkina rather than Pegula? I suspect - not. Other match will decide who will proceed to semis.

[ptmcmahon]

It does not. Only matters who you beat if you are tied with them. Swiatek needs Krejcikova to lose since they are both +1 sets currently.

Krejcikova will win group if she wins in straight sets.

[ashkor87]

we need a board on the ATP finals in Turin - the groups have been announced - looks quite unbalanced.. the Newcombe group looks weak.

[Fastbackss]

Coco "lets" Babs win - bounces Swiatek, but means she has to face Sabalenka in the semis

(I don't believe this but then again I didn't see the match)

Done.
