Coco Gauff produced a remarkable fightback to defeat Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 7-5 at the WTA Finals, reeling off the final six games of the match to keep her tournament hopes alive.
The Ukrainian appeared firmly in control during the second set, breaking Gauff twice and surging to a 5-1 lead. Gauff had earlier called a medical timeout at 3-0 down to treat a lower back problem, and her prospects looked bleak.
Yet the American found another gear. After shoring up her serve - having struggled badly on second deliveries early in the set - Gauff broke back to close the deficit to 5-3. From there, she was unstoppable, levelling at 5-5 before breaking Kostyuk once more to clinch the match.
Despite the victory, Gauff's progression hinges on events elsewhere. Should Linda Noskova beat Jessica Pegula, Gauff goes through. A Pegula win, however, would see advancement determined by set percentages - a scenario that could shut the door on the American's campaign.
It is the kind of nervous wait no player relishes, but Gauff has at least done everything within her power, as Flashscore reports.
