VARIOUS OF GAUFF WINNING 6-3 6-2 & EXCHANGING HANDSHAKE WITH PAOLINI AT THE NET STORY: Defending champion Coco Gauff put on a clinical performance to beat Jasmine Paolini 6-3 6-2 and eliminate the Italian as she registered her first win at the WTA Finals on Tuesday (November 4). The 21-year-old, who made 17 double faults when she lost to fellow American Jessica Pegula in her first game in Group Steffi Graf on Sunday, committed only three double faults this time as she dominated the eighth seed. The American took just over 10 minutes to build a 3-0 lead in the first set before Paolini went through a nine-minute battle to fend off three break points and win her first game. Paolini got a break but Gauff drew the Italian into backhand rallies and won points with precise cross-court shots to claim the next game and take a 5-3 lead before holding to win the set. The French Open champion's strategy of making Paolini run constantly from one side of court to the other paid off again when Gauff got back-to-back breaks to go 5-2 up in the second. She secured victory with a powerful serve that Paolini could only hit into the net. (Production: Stefan Haskins)
