Svitolina Advances to WTA Finals Semifinals with Victory Over Sabalenka
Elina Svitolina defeated Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set match at the WTA Finals, securing her place in the semifinals and ending Sabalenka's campaign at the tournament.


World number two Aryna Sabalenka's campaign at the WTA Finals came to a disappointing end after she failed to reach the semifinals of the season-ending championships. Elina Svitolina overwhelmed Sabalenka in the deciding set to seal a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 upset on Friday and reach the semifinals of the season-ending WTA Finals in Indian Wells, where she will face Linda Noskova (1).

Svitolina absorbed and redirected Sabalenka’s power effectively, breaking the Belarusian six times before sealing her first victory over her opponent in more than six years with a forehand winner on her fourth match point. With the win, Svitolina improved to 2-6 against Sabalenka in their career meetings (1). [1]
The defeat ended Sabalenka’s season on a disappointing note. The second seed won Brisbane International in January and then Indian Wells and the Miami Open in March to complete the 'Sunshine Double' but did not claim another title after that. Sabalenka also surrendered the world number one ranking to Elena Rybakina at the US Open (1). [1]
