Sabalenka or Svitolina? Follow live as they play for the last FAGE WTA Finals semifinal spot

INDIAN Wells, Calif. -- And just like that, we’re down to one singles match in round-robin play at the FAGE WTA Finals, and there’s one semifinal spot left to fill. Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina both come into Friday’s match at 1-1. The winner will be back on Saturday to play Linda Noskova. For the other, the season is over.

Two days ago, Sabalenka was up 4-1 against Mirra Andreeva with a chance to take control of Group 2. She didn’t win another game. Earlier that day, Svitolina was a set down against Karolina Muchova and in danger of being eliminated before she even got to Friday. She dropped just four games over the next two sets to give herself another match that mattered.

Now they’re playing for the same spot, and Svitolina will have to do something she hasn’t done in their last five meetings. Sabalenka won all five, including their Australian Open semifinal in January.

Andreeva has already won Group 2 and will face Group 1 runner-up Jessica Pegula for the first time on Saturday. Noskova, the Group 1 winner, is waiting to find out who she’ll play.

Follow along below later Friday as Sabalenka and Svitolina decide the last spot in the semifinals.
