Victory for world No 1 Angelique Kerber helped Dominika Cibulkova reach the semi-finals of the WTA Finals on Thursday.

    Kerber, who had already advanced from the Red Group, beat Madison Keys 6-3 6-3 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium to finish 3-0 in the round robin and eliminate her American opponent.

    Cibulkova beat Simona Halep 6-3 7-6 (7-5) earlier in the day, giving her a 1-2 record. After losing her opening round robin matches to Kerber and Keys, the Slovak needed a straight-sets win to have any chance of advancing and she managed to keep her side of the bargain in a display full of determination.
