The Sabalenka-Svyatek match has been suspended – the final of the Tournament of Champions will take place on Monday

The game was interrupted with a score of 2-1, 30-30 in favor of Sveontek (Sabalenko alternated) due to rain. The winner will defeat Jessica Pegula in the final action.

If she makes it to the finals, Arina will end the year at No. 1 in the WTA rankings. To become the world leader at the end of the 2023 season, Iga must win the Tournament of Champions.
