Zheng beats Krejcikova 6-3, 7-5 to reach final of WTA Finals

Date:

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Zheng Qinwen defeated Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova 6-3, 7-5 to book her place in the final of the WTA Finals on Friday.

Zheng continued her remarkable season by reaching the decider in her first appearance. The Chinese player has won 31 of her 36 matches since Wimbledon, more than anyone else on the tour.

She will face Coco Gauff or top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday’s final. They were playing their semifinal later Friday.

Zheng struck nine aces as she defeated a tired-looking Krejcikova in 1 hour, 40 minutes.
