Had Sakkari pulled out that win it would have been DRAMA in this group to determine who comes out of it. As it is, Pegula wins the group, Rybakina and Sabalenka will play on Thursday to be 2nd. So Pegula will play whomever finishes 2nd in the other group.

The best tennis at the WTA Finals so far (to my eye) has come from Pegula. Serving well, breaking with ease, enjoying the speed of the court, using her full skill set, calmly going about her business. 6-4 6-3 over an erratic Sabalenka in a match which got very good very late.
