Linda Noskova Advances to WTA Finals Semifinals After Defeating Coco Gauff
Linda Noskova secured the first semifinal spot at the 2026 WTA Finals by defeating Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-3 in a 75-minute match. The 21-year-old Noskova, making her WTA Finals debut after winning Wimbledon, dominated the match, while Gauff and Jessica Pegula will compete for the remaining Group 1 semifinal berth. Marta Kostyuk, a late alternate, was eliminated from contention but will play Gauff to avoid a winless record and earn prize money. Final standings will be decided after Thursday's matches.
