Following Elena Rybakina's withdrawal due to physical issues, first alternate Marta Kostyuk steps onto the big stage to face American world No. 5 Jessica Pegula in a crucial Group 1 clash at the WTA Finals.
Kostyuk's Recent Form
Ranked world No. 10, Kostyuk arrives with strong momentum. The Ukrainian produced a solid run at the US Open by reaching the fourth round, where she was eliminated by fellow group member Linda Noskova. Kostyuk has claimed two titles this season, both on clay: lifting the trophy at the WTA 250 in Rouen and capturing a landmark victory at the Madrid Open, defeating French Open champion Mirra Andreeva in straight sets.
Pegula's Recent Form
Pegula enters the matchup facing significant pressure after dropping her opening match to Coco Gauff in a grueling three-set marathon that lasted over two and a half hours. The American has enjoyed an impressive stretch of deep tournament runs in recent months, finishing as runner-up in Berlin, Washington, and Cincinnati, as well as reaching the US Open semifinals. Those results followed her title-winning campaigns earlier this season at the WTA 1000 in Dubai and the WTA 500 in Charleston.
Head-to-Head Record
Pegula holds a narrow edge in their rivalry, leading their head-to-head series 4-3 across seven prior meetings.
