The WTA Finals will feature the eight best tennis players of the season, including Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka, who will compete with each other to end the season in first place in the ranking. Here’s everything you need to know before the finals start.
The following players will play in the WTA Finals, the tournament concluding the women’s tennis season: Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jelena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, Ons Jabeur, Marketa Vondrousova and Maria Sakkari, who will replace the injured Karolina Muchova. The event, this time taking place in Canun, will start on October 29 and end on November 5.
Tennis players will compete in two groups. The best two players will advance from the groups. The group draw is scheduled for October 27. You can win $1.7 million and 1,500 ranking points. We will be watching Aryna Sabalenko and Iga Swiatek especially closely in this tournament. The tennis players are separated by so few ranking points that both have a chance to end the season in first place in the ranking.
The WTA Finals prize pool is nine million dollars, four million more than last year. 110,000 is the starting prize. The same amount is awarded for each group victory. Advancing to the semi-finals is worth $30,000, and advancing to the finals is earning $420,000. The winner will receive an additional 820,000, making a total of $1.71 million.
