Caroline Garcia came from a set down to beat Russia's Daria Kasatkina and reach the last four of the WTA Finals.

The French sixth seed won a gruelling match 4-6 6-1 7-6 (7-5) to set up a semi-final against Greece's world number five Maria Sakkari in Texas.

Sakkari, 27, qualified by topping her group unbeaten, while 29-year-old Garcia went through as group runner-up.

Poland's world number one Iga Swiatek will play Belarusian seventh seed Aryna Sabalenka, 24, in the other semi-final.

Swiatek, 21, finished off the group stages with a straight-set win over American Coco Gauff, 18, who could not progress after losing her first two matches on her WTA Finals debut.

Swiatek wrapped up a 6-3 6-0 victory in one hour and 10 minutes, winning the final 10 games.
