"It was such a longshot to reach the WTA Finals" says Anett Kontaveit after reaching the WTA Finals
WTAWednesday, 03 November 2021 at 14:00
Anett Kontaveit went on a brilliant run late in the season to win several trophies and book a spot at the WTA Finals.
Not much needs to be said about the run Anett Kontaveit put together in the final few weeks of the season. The Estonian player had a very slight chance of making it to the WTA Finals and she needed back-to-back trophies in Moscow and Cluj-Napoca. She was able to do that and ultimately knock Jabeur out of the 8th spot for the Finals.
Naturally, Kontaveit could not quite belivee what had happened when asked about it:
“Absolutely not. I have no idea what’s going on. I thought it was such a longshot to reach the WTA Finals.”
It quite was and the performance she put forward to do so was marvelous. Before this season Kontaveit had only one career title won in 2017 yet now she has four to her name. Three of those came in the final month half of play. Kontaveit went 15-0 across events in Ostrava, Czech Republic, Moscow, Russia, and Cluj, Romania.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
