    "editor1": "American Coco Gauff: Playing her first tournament since splitting with coach Pere Riba, no.3 seed American Coco Gauff kicked off her WTA Finals singles campaign with a bang after defeating No.6 seed Ons Jabeur 6-0, 6-1 here.\n<p>Monday's win was Gauff's first at the season-ending championships, having gone 0-6 in singles and doubles last year in Fort Worth. It is also her eighth Top 10 win of the year. Only her next opponent, Iga Swiatek, has tallied more, WTA reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gauff has now won 50 matches this season, with eight coming against Top 10 opponents. She is the first teenager to win 50 or more matches in a single season since Caroline Wozniacki in 2009.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She is also the first teenager to tally a singles victory at the WTA Finals since Wozniacki and the first American teenager to do so since Venus Williams in 1999.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gauff will face No.2 Swiatek next in what will be the 10th career meeting between the two young champions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Swiatek opened play in the Chetumal Group with a resilient comeback win over Marketa Vondrousova, rallying from 5-2 down to win 7-6(3), 6-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a meeting of 2023 major champions, Swiatek\u2019s deep, forceful strokes bested Vondrousova\u2019s customary guile. Swiatek finished in a blur, winning the last four games of the first set, the tiebreak and all six games in the second.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 22-year-old Pole is now 3-0 versus Vondrousova and has the most career victories over the WTA Finals qualifiers, as well as the most match-wins this year, nine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
