WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- Mirra Andreeva remained unbeaten at the WTA Finals, beating fifth-seeded Jessica Pegula of the United States 6-3, 6-4 in 85 minutes on Saturday to set up a final meeting with Elina Svitolina.
The 19-year-old, who won the French Open earlier this year, is the only player still unbeaten this week at Indian Wells. The last teenager to go this deep at the season-ending tournament was Caroline Wozniacki in 2009.
Sixth seed Svitolina of Ukraine beat eighth-seeded Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-1, advancing to her third WTA Finals final and her first in seven years.
Svitolina, who got past second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka on Friday, lost 6-4, 6-0 in her round-robin meeting with Andreeva.
"She played really well. All the credit to her in that match," Svitolina said. "Tomorrow I'll have to do some homework and try to execute better, try to find the keys for the match, and hopefully I'll play a better match."
In the doubles semifinals, Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini of Italy beat China's Guo Hanyu and Kristina Mladenovic of France 6-3, 6-4, while Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic and Taylor Townsend of the United States upset top-seeded pair Gabriela Dabrowski of Canada and Brazil's Luisa Stefani 7-6 (4), 6-3. ■
