After 2 hours and 36 minutes -- the longest of the week -- Amanda Anisimova outlasted Iga Swiatek in the WTA Finals to set up a semifinal with Elena Rybakina.

Gauff won the 2024 WTA Tour Finals, also in Riyadh, beating Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2). The current world No. 3 won four of her five matches last year, becoming the youngest champion since Maria Sharapova in 2004.

The veteran discusses how she's trying to enjoy her tennis journey more in her 30s as she competes in her first WTA Finals in nine years.

With two singles semifinal berths on the line and 16 possible outcomes, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff square off in a rematch of this year's Roland Garros final, while Jessica Pegula faces Jasmine Paolini.
