WTA tour
WTA Finals, サバレンカ選手がペグラ選手相手にフルセットで勝利して,
サバレンカ選手は2勝0敗,ペグラ選手は1勝1敗となりました。
ガウフ選手はパオリーニ選手相手にストレート勝ちで1勝1敗となりました。
パオリーニ選手は0勝2敗となりました。
最終試合,パオリーニ選手がペグラ選手相手にストレート勝ちで,
ガウフ選手がサバレンカ選手相手にストレート負けの場合でも,
セット取得率はパオリーニ選手は2-4(0.333), ガウフ選手が3-4(0.429),
ペグラ選手が3-5(0.375)となっており,実質的には敗退が決定しているのですが,
当日,ガウフ選手,ペグラ選手が棄権しないとも限らないので,
確定はしていない状況ですね。
2勝1敗が3名のパターン,1勝2敗が3名のパターンのどちらとなるのか,
もし1勝1敗が3名の場合,そこから二連勝しての優勝があるのか,
なかなか興味深い展開です。
