FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Ons Jabeur has rallied for a three-set victory over Jessica Pegula at the WTA Finals. The victory keeps alive the U.S. Open finalist’s hopes of advancing out of group play in the season-ending event. The second-ranked Jabeur won the last three games in each of the second and third sets in a 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory. Jabeur and No. 3 Pegula both lost their opening matches in round-robin group play. No. 7 Aryna Sabalenka faced fifth-ranked Maria Sakkari in the late match.
