Jessica Pegula has become the sixth player to qualify for this year’s WTA Finals in Riyadh, joining Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys in the elite eight-player field.
She secured her spot by virtue of Friday’s results in Wuhan—by winning her quarterfinal match against Katerina Siniakova, 2-6, 6-0, 6-3, and with Elena Rybakina falling to Sabalenka, she punched her ticket.
It’s now down to three players for the last two spots in Riyadh—Mirra Andreeva, Jasmine Paolini and Rybakina, who are currently No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9 in the race with only a few hundred points separating them.
