Thursday marks the final day of the Group Stage at the WTA Finals. While Iga Swiatek's dominant play against Daria Kasatkina was unsurprising, her precarious position in the tournament is shocking to some tennis fans.

American star Coco Gauff defeated world No. 2 Iga Swiatek 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday, sealing her spot in the semifinals of the year-end WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

After beating Krejcikova in her opener at the WTA Finals, the Pole delivered a lackluster performance against the 2023 US Open and ended up picking a 3-6 4-6 defeat. Afterward, she was the first to acknowledge her mistake and vowed to do better in her next match.
