Print Edition
Defending champion Ashleigh Barty, world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka and French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova have all qualified for the season-ending WTA Finals in Mexico, the WTA said on Monday.
Five more singles players have yet to be named for the finals, which will be contested by the world鈥檚 top eight singles players and eight doubles teams. The event is scheduled to kick off on November 8 and was moved to Guadalajara from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, earlier this month due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced their cancellation last year. 鈥淟ifting the Billie Jean King Trophy in Shenzhen in 2019 is one of the best moments of my career,鈥 said world No. 1 Barty. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great honor to be among the top eight players in the world and be the first to qualify for the 2021 WTA Finals.鈥 However, it remains to be seen whether the Australian will actually defend her title. Her coach Craig Tyzzer this month expressed doubts about her participation due to what he called 鈥渞idiculous鈥 playing conditions at the high-altitude venue and the timing of the event, which he said could interfere with her ability to play at February鈥檚 Australian Open. Sabalenka and Krejcikova will both be making their first appearance as singles players although both have appeared in doubles. Krejcikova on Monday also learned that she and partner Katerina Siniakova had qualified for doubles, while the Japanese duo of Shuko Aoyama and Ena Shibahara also booked their ticket.
