The WTA Finals take place over the next eight days in Riyadh, pitting the year’s eight best players against each other in a unique format to conclude the WTA Tour season. With the year-end No.1 spot up for grabs, as well as a record-breaking $15.25 million in prize money, there is plenty to play for in Saudi Arabia. Here is a look at each player’s chances at the 2024 WTA Finals.

Aryna Sabalenka

Sabalenka is the hot favourite in Riyadh and for good reason. The Belarusian has been indomitable on hard courts the past three months, winning the Cincinnati WTA 1000, the US Open and the Wuhan Open, for a record of 20-1 since mid-August. It is hard to see her losing here, particularly since she beat Iga Swiatek recently.

Iga Swiatek

It has been a strange year for Swiatek, who was dominant until the midway point before dropping off in recent months. She will have plenty of motivation to regain the No.1 spot before the off-season and is something of a surprise package at the WTA Finals, given her new coaching setup.

---

Coco Gauff

It is a stretch to imagine Coco Gauff doing anything of note this week, as the American looks like she needs a good off-season. Still, she had a decent run in Asia recently and could make it through to the semi-finals without much issue.

---

Qinwen Zheng

Qinwen Zheng comes to Riyadh in excellent form, having just won the Tokyo Open and made the final in Wuhan. However, she is yet to prove herself capable of beating top players on a consistent basis – Sabalenka has been her downfall twice in the past few months – so she does not feel like a realistic title contender.

---

Elena Rybakina

Elena Rybakina began the year in blistering form, but injuries have seen her fall out of the conversation. The Kazakh has not played since the US Open, and it is surprising to not see her with longer odds here with leading sports bookmakers.

---

Jessica Pegula

Those after a juicy bet at the WTA Finals will want to seriously consider Jessica Pegula. The American had a quiet Asian swing but was easily the second-best player in the world for all of the North American season. If she finds that level again, she will be tough out in Riyadh.

---

Jasmine Paolini

Jasmine Paolini has fallen off since making back-to-back Grand Slam finals at the French Open and Wimbledon. She is 3-3 in her last six matches and has not played for three weeks, hence her odds of +2200 available with tennis betting sites.

---

Barbora Krejcikova

The outsider of the WTA Finals field, Barbora Krejicikova, would have missed the cut purely based on points and gained her spot courtesy of winning a Grand Slam this year. Still, as she showed at Wimbledon, her ceiling is high, and she can beat the best on her day, making her an excellent dark horse bet.
