The 2022 WTA Finals will be the women's championship tennis tournament run by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). It will be the season-ending event for the highest-ranked singles players and doubles teams on the 2022 WTA Tour.
Tournament[]
The tournament was originally scheduled to take place at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center in Shenzhen, China. However, On December 2, 2021, WTA chairman Steve Simon announced that all tournaments scheduled to be held in both China and Hong Kong would be suspended beginning in 2022, due to concerns regarding the security and well-being of tennis player Peng Shuai after her allegations of sexual assault against Zhang Gaoli, a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party.[1][2] The tournament will be the 51st edition of the singles event and the 46th of the doubles competition. It will be contested by eight singles players and eight doubles teams.
Qualifying[]
In the singles, point totals are calculated by combining point totals from sixteen tournaments (excluding ITF and WTA 125 tournaments).[3] Of these sixteen tournaments, a player's results from the four Grand Slam events, the four WTA 1000 tournaments with 1,000 points for the winner, and (for the players who played the main draw of least 2 such tournaments) the best results from two WTA 1000 tournaments with 900 points for the winner must be included.
In the doubles, point totals are calculated by any combination of eleven tournaments throughout the year. Unlike in the singles, this combination does not need to include results from the Grand Slams or WTA 1000 tournaments.
Format[]
Both the singles and doubles event features eight players/teams in a round robin event, split into two groups of four. Over the first four days of competition, each player/team meets the other three players/teams in her group, with the top two in each group advancing to the semifinals. The first-placed player/team in one group meets the second-placed player/team in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match.
Round robin tie-breaking methods[]
The final standings are made using these methods:
- Greatest number of match wins.
- Greatest number of matches played.
- Head-to-head results if only two players are tied, or if three players are tied then:
- a. If three players each have the same number of wins, a player having played less than all three matches is automatically eliminated and the player advancing to the single elimination competition is the winner of the match-up of the two remaining tied players.
- b. Highest percentage of sets won.
- c. Highest percentage of games won.
