Jessica Pegula of the United States faces Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk in Group A of the 2026 WTA Finals. The round-robin match is scheduled for 10 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC, with venue and surface to be confirmed by the WTA.
Pegula's flat-ball pressure against Kostyuk's counterpunching
Pegula, a long-standing top-10 player in public rankings, builds points on early ball-striking, a reliable first serve and flat groundstrokes that take time away from opponents. Kostyuk, a top-30 mainstay per public reports, defends with variety, changes pace with the slice and looks to redirect pace rather than generate it.
Group A round-robin stakes at the WTA Finals
The WTA Finals uses a round-robin format, so a single defeat does not eliminate either player; set and game records can decide ties. Both players are chasing a first deep run at the event, and indoor hard-court conditions typically favour aggressive returners.
