WTA Finals final: Elina Svitolina versus Mirra Andreeva
The WTA Finals title match is Elina Svitolina against Mirra Andreeva, the season-ending championship that uses round-robin groups before knockout rounds. Coco Gauff voiced reservations about that format and later clarified them. Off-court noise has been as loud as the tennis: Jessica Pegula was caught on a hot microphone calling Andreeva a “diva” who “needs to be humbled.” Pegula then apologized, but she did not deliver that humbling in the semi-finals, falling 6-3, 6-4. Andreeva, described as the latest teen phenom in a sport that keeps producing them, now faces Svitolina, who is from Ukraine. Andreeva is a compatriot of Aryna Sabalenka, who apologized to Svitolina after an outburst. The final also asks whether Andreeva will add another title after her breakthrough major at Roland Garros earlier this year.
