WTA Finals Groups
Each of the eight singles players and doubles team are divided into two groups comprising four singles players or doubles teams each. Each singles or doubles team will face off against all the other participants in their respective groups during the group stage. At the end of the round-robin matches, the top two players from each group will advance to the semifinals.
Singles
In the Singles, the eight players are divided into two groups that are named after former American legendary players Tracy Austin and Nancy Richey.
Tracy Austin Group
- Iga Swiatek
- Coco Gauff
- Caroline Garcia
- Daria Kasatkina
Top seed Iga Swiatek leads the Tracy Austin Group and 18-year old Coco Gauff too fins herself in the same group. Both Swiatek, who is aged 21 and Gauff are the youngest players in the tournament and when they meet in the round robin stage, it will be a repeat of the French Open final this year.
Caroline Garcia, who won three titles this year including the Cincinnati WTA 1000 title also finds herself in the group. She defeated Coco Gauff in the quarterfinal of the Australian Open this year and the meeting between both the players yet again in the round robin format will be a blockbuster. Daria Kasatkina, who has won two titles this year fills the last spot in the group.
Nancy Richey Group
- Ons Jabeur
- Jessica Pegula
- Maria Sakkari
- Aryna Sabalenka
World No.2 Ons Jabeur leads the Nancy Richey Group. She will face a stiff challenge from Jessica Pegula. They last met at the Madrid Open final this year with Jabeur winning the match in three sets. Both the players will also face stiff challenge from Maria Sakkari and Aryna Sabalenka, both of whom are making their second straight appearance in the WTA Finals.
