Elina Svitolina's rival was determined in the main match of the WTA Final tournament in Chinese Shenzhen.

In the final match, the Ukrainian tennis player will argue for a prestigious trophy with world ranking leader Ashley Barty.

In the semifinals, the Australian in three sets defeated Karolina Plishkova from the Czech Republic - 4: 6, 6: 2, 6: 3. Elina reserved a place in the finals a little earlier thanks to a victory over Swiss Belinda Bencic, who starred due to an injury in the decisive set.

The final match between Svitolina and Barty will be held on Sunday, November 3.

Recall that Elina will play in the final of the Final Tournament for the second time in a row. Elina won this trophy last year in Singapore.
