Venus Williams reversed her Wimbledon final loss to Garbine Muguruza to reach the semi-finals of the WTA Finals in Singapore. Williams needed more than three hours to defeat Jelena Ostapenko on Tuesday but at 37 showed no signs of fatigue in a 7-5 6-4 victory over Muguruza.

Williams is likely to face Caroline Wozniacki in the semi-finals.
