The latest update from the WTA Tennis Finals early today (November 7, 2025) shows Sabalenka and Pegula winning to move into the semifinals, with Gauff and Paolini knocked out. The semifinal lineup is also included.

In the first match, Pegula comfortably defeated Paolini 2-0, finishing with a 2-1 record to advance to the semifinals.

In the second match, Sabalenka overcame Gauff 2-0, securing her spot in the semifinals with a perfect three-win streak.

Since Serena Williams began, no defending champion has successfully retained the title. This year followed the same pattern, with last year’s champion Gauff eliminated in the group stage with a 1-2 record. Sabalenka topped the group, and Pegula finished second, both advancing smoothly to the semifinals. Pegula has been performing exceptionally well this year and has a strong chance of reaching the final.

Here are the detailed semifinal matchups.

1. First semifinal: Sabalenka vs. Anisimova.
2. Second semifinal: Rybakina vs. Pegula.
3. Who will win and advance to the final?My prediction is Rybakina and Sabalenka, with Sabalenka winning the title undefeated and claiming the $5.5 million prize. What do you think?
