Jessica Pegula has kept her semi-final ambitions firmly on track at the 2026 FAGE WTA Finals, dismantling Marta Kostyuk 6-2, 7-5 in a one-sided affair that lasted just 89 minutes.
The American was clinical from the outset, rattling off the first nine points and breaking Kostyuk's serve immediately. The opening set was wrapped up in barely half an hour, with Pegula committing just three unforced errors to Kostyuk's alarming 17.
For Kostyuk, it was a painful exit from knockout-round contention. Two consecutive straight-set defeats have ended any realistic path forward, though she still has a dead-rubber clash with Coco Gauff to come.
Her serve proved a persistent liability throughout the tournament - she racked up 15 double faults across her matches, nine of them in this contest alone. That kind of self-inflicted damage simply cannot be sustained at this level.
Pegula now turns her attention to a Thursday rematch with Linda Noskova, having already endured a gruelling physical contest against Gauff in the opening round. If her performance against Kostyuk is anything to go by, she will take some stopping.
