It’s been a very eventful year in the world of tennis – from high-profile retirements to new World Number Ones – but now the season is drawing to a close with the tour finals.
The ATP Finals will take place in Turin in a couple of weeks’ time, but first up it’s time for the WTA Finals, which will see the eight highest-ranked players in the women’s circuit battle it out for the title in Fort Worth, Texas.
The clear favourite going into the tournament is World Number One Iga Świątek, with the 21-year-old Pole having dominated the tour this year, including winning two out of the four Grand Slams and going on an incredible 37-match winning streak – the longest in the 21st century.
But there are plenty of players who will pose tough challenges for Świątek, not least Tunisian star Ons Jabeur, who has herself enjoyed a very good campaign – finishing runner-up at both Wimbledon and the US Open.
Jabeur gets her tournament underway tonight against Aryna Sabalenka, following the tournament’s first match between Jessica Pegula and Maria Sakkari.
