After what has been an eventful year in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) category, the curtains on the tennis season is about to be drawn with the WTA Finals.

Featuring the top eight female tennis players in the world, the battle for the 2017 WTA Finals trophy is currently underway in Singapore.

Simona Halep (ROU), Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP), Karolína Plíšková (CZE), Elina Svitolina (UKR), Venus Williams (USA), Caroline Wozniacki (DEN), Jeļena Ostapenko (LAT) and Caroline Garcia (FRA) will all be fighting for the final title to be won before the end of the 2017 season.

The Format

The singles event of the competition features eight players in a round-robin event {definition: an event where each participant plays every other participant once}. These players are then split into two groups of four.

Just like in football competitions, each player will face the other three players in her group. The two players who can gather the most points in both groups will advance to the semifinals.

The first-placed player in one group meets the second-placed player in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match.

The Groups

As mentioned earlier, the eight players are separated into two groups: the Red Group and the White Group, both colors representing the flag of Singapore.

The White Group has Garbiñe Muguruza, Karolína Plíšková, Venus Williams and Jeļena Ostapenko. In the Red Group, we have Simona Halep, Caroline Wozniacki, Caroline Garcia and Elina Svitolina.

The Tournament so Far

In the White Group, Karolina Plíšková has already qualified for the semifinals. The player ranked world No. 3 made a name for herself after defeating Venus Willams (5^th) and also Wimbledon champion, Garbine Muguruza (2^nd) on her way to qualifying out of the group.
