Jessica Pegula cruised past US Open winner Coco Gauff in straight sets to book a spot in the championship match of the WTA Finals in Cancun, Mexico.<\/p>\n
The American doubles partners duked it out against each other on a wet and windy Saturday evening, with Pegula easily coming out on top 6-2 6-1.<\/p>\n
It is still not known who will face the 29-year-old in the final, as the semi-final between world number one Aryna Sabalenka and world number two Iga Swiatek was pushed back as more heavy rains rolled in four games into their match.<\/p>\n
The game was put on pause with Swiatek leading 2-1 and Sabalenka serving at 30-all.<\/p>\n
The duo could be seen both wrapping themselves in towels to brace against the weather as organisers waited almost two hours for the game to resume.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the game was suspended as bleak conditions prevailed.<\/p>\n
Belarusian Sabalenka and Poland\u2019s Swiatek will resume play on Sunday, with the final rescheduled to Monday.<\/p>\n
