WTA Finals Draw Held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The WTA Finals will commence on November 2 in Riyadh, featuring top players such as Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff. Sabalenka, currently ranked No. 1, is in the Purple Group alongside Zheng Qinwen, Elena Rybakina, and Jasmine Paolini, while Swiatek heads the Orange Group with Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Barbora Krejcikova. The tournament format includes round-robin matches, with the top two players from each group advancing to the semifinals on November 8. This event is crucial for determining the year-end No. 1 ranking, as Swiatek must win the tournament without losing a match to overtake Sabalenka. The total prize money for this year's event is a record-setting $15.25 million, with an undefeated champion set to receive over $5 million. The stakes are high as the players look to cap off their seasons with a strong performance.
