Sobolenko was defeated by Andreeva in the match of the Final tournament of the Women's Tennis Association

In the next match of the group stage of the Final tournament of the Belarusian Women's Tennis Association, Arina Sobolenko (WTA: 2) lost to Russian Mirra Andreeva (WTA: 3) - 4:6, 0:6. It's reported by sb.by.

At the start of the competition, the representative of our tennis school broke the resistance of Karolina Mukhova from the Czech Republic (WTA: 7) (7:6, 7:5). However, today, on November 12, at night Minsk time, Arina Sobolenko, alas, could not please her fans with the game and the result. Belarus collected twice as many Winners (8:16), made many more unforced errors (23:6) and lost to her opponent on a number of other statistical indicators. So the outcome of the match is natural.

During the first set, Arina Sobolenko led with a break - 4: 1. But then everything changed. Belarus did not hold five games in a row, which led to more than an insulting defeat in the party. And the second set athlete from Belarus lost “to zero”.

In another match of group 2 Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (WTA: 6) was stronger than Karolina Mukhova from the Czech Republic (WTA: 7) (3:6, 6:2, 6:2).

Mukhova lost the chances of getting into the playoffs, and Andreeva, on the contrary, prematurely guaranteed herself participation in the 1/2 finals. The second ticket to the playoffs from this group in the face-to-face confrontation will be challenged by Sobolenko and Svitolin.

In the quartet 1, we recall, Linda Noskova from the Czech Republic (WTA: 8), American Coco Gauff (WTA: 4), Jessica Peguly (WTA: 5) and Ukrainian Martha Kostyuk (WTA: 10), who replaced the first racket of the world Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan at the tournament.

In the playoffs, two athletes from each group qualify. Then there will be semifinals and a decisive match for the title.

The final WTA tournament takes place in Indian Wells (California) from 8 to 15 November. The prize fund of the competition is 10 million dollars.

Last year, the winner of the Final tournament of the Women's Tennis Association was the representative of Kazakhstan Elena Rybakina, who in the decisive match defeated Arina Sobolenko - 6:3, 7:6 (7:0). From Belarusians to the final of the WTA Final tournament reached only Arina Sobolenko twice (2022, 2025) and Victoria Azarenko (2011). None of these tennis players won this competition. Noskova defeated Gauff and became the first semi-finalist of the Women's Tennis Association Final Tournament
