After two rounds of round-robin play, the situation is open in both groups at the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global. Yesterday’s White Group matches left the qualification for the semifinals to be decided on Thursday, while today’s Red Group victories of Sloane Stephens and Angelique Kerber mean that all the four group members can still qualify for the semis on Friday.
The fifth-seeded Stephens retained a perfect 2-0 record in the Red Group, beating eighth seed Kiki Bertens after regular momentum shifts in a match that lasted two hours and 20 minutes.
