Coco Gauff showed all of her battling qualities as she fought through a back injury to beat Marta Kostyuk and keep her WTA Finals last-four hopes alive.

American Gauff was visibly in pain as she received treatment on her lower back midway through a match she needed to win to stay in the tournament.

She found herself 5-1 down in the second set - only to win six games in a row to complete a 6-4 7-5 win at Indian Wells.
