Mirra Andreeva wins 11 games in a row to thrash Aryna Sabalenka at WTA Finals

Mirra Andreeva produced a stunning comeback to defeat Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-0 and book her place in the semi-finals of the WTA Finals.

The 19-year-old Russian recovered from a 4-1 deficit in the opening set before winning 11 consecutive games to complete a dominant victory over the world No. 2 in just 62 minutes at Indian Wells.

Sabalenka made the stronger start but struggled to find her rhythm as Andreeva took control. The teenager finished the match with 16 winners and just six unforced errors, while her opponent recorded 23 unforced errors and failed to hit an ace.

The result secured Andreeva top spot in Group 2 after victories over Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina in her opening two matches.

She also became the youngest player to reach the WTA Finals semi-finals since Caroline Wozniacki in 2009.

Sabalenka, meanwhile, remains in contention for the last four but must beat Svitolina in their decisive group match on Friday to progress.

Andreeva will face Karolina Muchova in her final group fixture, with the Czech player already eliminated from semi-final contention.
