The WTA year-end competition is about to start as the 2022 WTA Finals will take place from October 31st through November 7th in Fort Worth, Texas.
Eight players that performed the best throughout the 2022 season qualified for the WTA Finals and now they know the round-robin groups they will have to fight in. Last year's champion, Garbine Muguruza is not present to defend her title and this year's WTA Finals are also first in history without more than 1 Grand Slam champion.
The only Grand Slam champion in the draw is world no. 1 Iga Swiatek who is in Tracy Austin Group. The young Pole will meet Coco Gauff, who she beat in this year's Roland Garros final, as well as no. 6 Caroline Garcia and no. 8 Daria Kasatkina.
In Nancy Richey Group, two-time Grand Slam finalist in 2022, Ons Jabeur leads the way with no. 3 Jessica Pegula joining her. No. 5 Maria Sakkari and no. 7 Aryna Sabalenka will also fight in this group for their spot in Final Four.
From each group, two best players qualify for semifinals in which the first player from Tracy Austin Group takes on second from Nancy Richey and vice-versa.
