Linda Nosková began the WTA Finals in Indian Wells with a 6–2, 6–4 victory over Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk. The eighth-seeded Czech faced Kostyuk after the Ukrainian replaced the injured defending champion Jelena Rybakina. Nosková had also defeated Kostyuk in the Wimbledon semifinals earlier this year before winning that tournament. Nosková took control by breaking in the opening game and built a 4–1 lead with two breaks in the first set. Her crosscourt forehand again proved decisive, while Kostyuk’s forehand was reported to have been too inconsistent.
