Despite win: Gauff faces anxious wait for semi-final spot
The American defeated Marta Kostyuk in straight sets. Now, her fate rests in the hands of a rival.
American home favourite Coco Gauff celebrated her second win at the WTA Finals.
Following her recent defeat against Linda Noskova, the 22-year-old overcame Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 7-5 in her third and final group match. The 24-year-old Ukrainian leaves Indian Wells without a win.
Despite the two victories, Gauff's spot in the semi-finals is still far from secure: she currently sits in second place behind the already qualified Czech player Noskova and can still be overtaken by her compatriot Jessica Pegula.
If Pegula wins against Noskova in the day's second match, Gauff will be eliminated. Only a victory for the Czech will keep her in the tournament.
