Swiatek sets record at WTA Finals, first edition to only include one Grand Slam champion

Iga Swiatek will be the only grand slam champion at the WTA Finals this year setting a new milestone as it's the first time that happened.

Generally, the WTA Finals feature at least two grand slam champions but sometimes more. This time around it will only be Iga Swiatek as the Polish player is the only player there to have won a grand slam this year. The Australian Open was won by Barty who retired after that.

Swiatek won the French Open and US Open while Wimbledon was won by Rybakina who missed out on the event due to the points being stripped. That is the crucial reason why Rybakina is missing the event as the tradition would have probably continued if the season was a regular one but it wasn't.

There are players there who played in a grand slam final as both Gauff and Jabeur played in finals this year but they lost. Gauff was beaten by Swiatek in the Roland Garros final while Jabeur lost to Rybakina in the Wimbledon final and Swiatek in the US Open final.
