Iga Świątek was the defending champion, but was eliminated in the round-robin stage.[1][2] Świątek is the first defending champion to be eliminated in the round-robin stage since Caroline Wozniacki in 2018, with her elimination having guaranteed a first-time WTA Finals champion.

Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka were in contention for the WTA No. 1 ranking. Sabalenka secured the year-end world No. 1 ranking for the first time in her career after winning her first two round-robin matches, and Świątek also losing one round-robin match.[3][4]

Ranked No. 13 entering the tournament, Barbora Krejčíková became the lowest-ranked player to reach the semifinals since Sandrine Testud in 2001, and became the first player ranked outside the WTA’s top 10 to win multiple matches at the WTA Finals since Elena Dementieva in 2000.

Jasmine Paolini and Zheng Qinwen made their debuts in the singles competition at the WTA Finals.[5]

Paolini is the only player in this edition to qualify for both the singles and doubles tournaments.

Jessica Pegula withdrew from the tournament before her final group match due to a knee injury and was replaced by first alternate Daria Kasatkina.[6]
