Oh, between storms, Pegula beat Gauff for a place in the finals, but Swiatek-Sabalenka is delayed by rain and rescheduled to Monday.

What interests me is that one of the doubles semifinals has not yet been completed. 39 year old Vera Zvonareva, teamed with Siegemund, still has a shot at the title if they get to play the semis and win. Vera is on her second come back, at least, after having left the tour to have children, get an advanced degree, come back, get injured and now return at 39 years old.

Since Siegemund is 35 yo that makes their doubles team a combined 74 years old !

"CANCUN, Mexico -- Iga Swiatek defeated No.5 Jessica Pegula 6-1, 6-0 to win the GNP Seguros WTA Finals Cancun. With Monday’s win, Swiatek will overtake Aryna Sabalenka in the Hologic WTA Tour rankings and finish as the year-end No.1 for the second consecutive season.

Swiatek capped off her unbeaten run through the end of the season with her tour-leading sixth title of the year and 17th overall. After winning the title in Beijing to finish her regular season, the 22-year-old ran the table in Cancun to finish the year on an 11-match win streak.

Swiatek became only the third player to win a title at each tour-level event in a single season. With her titles in Warsaw (WTA 250), Stuttgart and Doha (WTA 500), Beijing (WTA 1000) and Roland Garros (Grand Slam), she joins Serena Williams (2013) and Petra Kvitova (2011) as the only players to achieve the feat.
