Iga Świątek is the defending champion.[1][2]
Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka are in contention for the WTA No. 1 ranking. Świątek must win the title either while undefeated or while winning two round robin matches (and Sabalenka also losing two matches) to regain the top spot. Sabalenka can clinch the top spot if she goes undefeated in the round robin stage, or if she wins at least two round robin matches and Świątek also loses one match.[3]
Jasmine Paolini and Zheng Qinwen made their debuts in the singles competition at the WTA Finals.[4]
Paolini is the only player in this edition to qualify for both the singles and doubles tournaments.
