Her performance in Cancun suggests she's far from done adding to her growing collection of accolades.
The WTA Finals format sees eight of the world's best players competing in round-robin matches, with Gauff now positioning herself strongly for advancement to the knockout stages. Her dominant display against Paolini sends a clear message to other competitors: she's here to win.
