7 Ons Jabeur, needing less than an hour to win 6-0, 6-1 in her first match of this year’s WTA Finals on Monday.
The American won the first seven games of the match before Jabeur was momentarily saved by a lengthy rain delay in Cancun, Mexico.
After returning to court, Jabeur finally won a game, but the respite was short-lived as third-seed Gauff raced to a straight-sets victory.
French Open champion Świątek also started her WTA Finals campaign with a win, fighting back from 5-2 down in the first set to beat Wimbledon champion Markéta Vondroušová 7-6 (7-3) 6-0.
“She played a correct match, didn’t make a lot of mistakes.
