WTA
The entry list for the WTA Finals has been confirmed with Marketa Vondrousova, Ons Jabeur, and Karolina Muchova closing out the Top eight players set to battle it out at the season-ending championship.
The WTA Finals will take place in Cancun, Mexico, from October 29 - November 5. The top five places were already decided after Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula all passed the qualification cut of 3790 points.
The only other player that could have changed the line-up was World No. 6 Maria Sakkari who experienced a late surge after winning her first WTA 1000 title at the recent Guadalajara Open AKRON.

However, the Greek player's chances of qualification depended on making the semi-finals of the China Open, which she just missed out on with a quarter-final defeat to Gauff.
A season of great tennis from Top 8
All eight players have provided a season of great tennis, with each of the four Grand Slam winners having made it through.
World No. 1 Sabalenka won her first major title at the Australian Open in January, before Swiatek lifted her fourth trophy at a Slam when she defended her French Open title. After this, Vondrousova became the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon in the Open Era, and Gauff won her first title at the US Open.

Jabeur and Muchova, who close out the list at seventh and eighth respectively, have both made it to major finals this year. The Czech player took a set off Swiatek in the Roland Garros final, while Jabeur made it to her third Grand Slam final at Wimbledon.
One notable absence from this year's tournament is reigning champion Caroline Garcia. The World No. 10 has had a difficult time as of late, exiting the US Open in the first round. While she has been having deeper runs at recent tournaments on the WTA Tour, she was sitting at nineteenth in the race to Cancun, putting her way out of reach.

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
