The year-end championships always captivate tennis fans, and this season's event in Saudi Arabia promises no exception. Here’s our preview and prediction for the upcoming match between Iga Świątek and Barbora Krejčíková.
Iga Świątek
Iga Świątek held the top spot in women’s tennis for nearly three years before recently slipping to World No. 2, a shift likely fueling her competitive fire. Now 23, Świątek is aiming to reclaim her top position by the season's end. Despite losing the No. 1 ranking, Świątek's year has hardly been disappointing; she’s won five titles, including one Grand Slam. However, given her elite standards, she’s certainly capable of even more. Świątek hasn’t played since the U.S. Open, where she fell to Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals. She enters the WTA Finals as one of the favorites, with the added motivation of potentially ending the season at No. 1.
Barbora Krejčíková
The Czech player entered the year-end tournament as the eighth seed, even though she ranked only 12th in the Race to the Finals standings. Krejčíková’s ticket to the Finals came largely thanks to her Wimbledon victory, a remarkable achievement amid an otherwise quieter season. The 28-year-old currently ranks 13th globally. Krejčíková will be the underdog in her group but will have three matches to make her mark.
