Coco Gauff - The Canadian PressRIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Coco Gauff enjoyed a successful start by beating Jessica Pegula 6-3, 6-2 in an American matchup at the WTA Finals on Sunday.
Gauff converted five of her eight break-point opportunities to win her opening match at the year-ending tournament for the top eight ranked players. Gauff will face Swiatek on Tuesday with the winner taking control of the Orange Group. Pegula will next face Wimbledon champion Krejcikova. “Even though I played a lot of those matches, I kind of forgot for a while how it is to feel all those things, a bit different stress and emotions," Swiatek said."For sure, I needed some time to adapt. The most important thing was that even though it happened, I managed to fight through that. And was patient enough to wait to get better.”
