(VIDEO) Shocking state of unfinished arena at WTA Finals as Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek among others only days away from starting Cancun campaign

A Twitter user shared a video from the unfinished venue of the WTA Finals in Cancun, just five days before the debut of Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff, among others.

The top female tennis players of the season are coming together for the year-end tournament, with eight of the top nine ranked players of the year in attendance, following Karolina Muchova's withdrawal from the French Open Finals. She was replaced by the first alternate, Maria Sakkari.

The WTA Finals are returning to Mexico for the second time, as Guadalajara hosted the tournament in 2021, where Garbiñe Muguruza claimed the title by defeating Anett Kontaveit in the final. However, this time, the tournament is moving to Cancun, where the players are currently fine-tuning the last details before the event begins.

A concerning video has surfaced on social media, showing that the venue is not yet ready, and there is little progress, raising doubts about whether the organizers will have the facility fully prepared for the start of the tournament on October 29th, which runs until November 5th.

The four Grand Slam champions this year will be participating in the tournament: Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Marketa Vondrousova, and Coco Gauff. They are joined by 2022 finalists Elena Rybakina and Ons Jabeur, as well as Jessica Pegula and the alternate entry, Maria Sakkari.

The tournament will also feature a strong doubles draw, with Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula as the top seeds, followed by Storm Sanders and Elise Mertens.

The current singles champion is Caroline Garcia, who did not qualify for the WTA Finals and entered as the last qualifier for the WTA Elite Trophy due to the withdrawals of some players. In the doubles category, the defending champions are the duo of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova, who won the Australian Open this year and are the 4th seeds.
