"We've a match tiebreaker going on in today's first doubles match; the pairs are Dabrowski/Routliffe and Babos/Stefani. Share Greetings all and welcome to your afternoon fun and joy, also known as the final round of group matches in the 2025 WTA Tour Finals. We begin with Jessica Pegula v Jasmine Paolini, plenty to be going on with, except following them on to court we're blessed with Aryna Sabalenka v Coco Gauff a treat in any circumstances, never mind these."
"Paolini is out, having lost both her matches in a state of enthusiastic exhaustion, but the other three are fighting for two semi-final slots, Sabalenka sitting 2-0 and the others two 1-1. Depending on what happens today, these are the permutations, from least complex to most: If Paolini and Gauff win, Gauff wins the group and Sabalenka takes second. If Pegula and Sabalenka win, Sabalenka wins the group and Pegula takes second."
