Caroline Garcia has claimed the last spot in the semi-finals of the season-ending WTA Finals with a 4-6 6-1 7-6 (7-5) round-robin victory over Daria Kasatkina in Fort Worth, Texas.
The sixth-ranked Frenchwoman became the first in 30 matches this season to beat Kasatkina after losing the first set to the world No.8.
A tense third set that included a nine-deuce game in which Kasatkina finally held serve for a 5-4 lead ended in the tiebreaker when a scrambling Kasatkina put a volley into the net.
Garcia and Kasatkina played the winner-take-all match after both lost to top-ranked Iga Swiatek and beat 18-year-old American Coco Gauff in group play.
Swiatek had already clinched the top spot in the group.
Fifth-ranked Maria Sakkari and No. 7 Aryna Sabalenka are the other singles semi-final qualifiers from the eight-player field on the indoor hard court at Dickies Arena.
Garcia has reached the semi-finals in both her WTA Finals appearances. The first was in 2017.
