Jessica Pegula saved a match point at 5-4 in the third set and served 16 aces to beat Linda Noskova 7-6 (2), 4-6, 7-5 in Group 1 of the WTA Finals in Indian Wells. Noskova, Pegula and Coco Gauff all finished 2-1, and the percentage of sets won sent Noskova and Pegula into the semifinals, knocking out Gauff, who had come back from 5-1 down to beat Marta Kostyuk earlier in the day. Pegula will face Mirra Andreeva on Saturday, just days after the Russian was on the hot microphone.
