Many of you might be a bit confused as to who might qualify for the semis in the WTA Finals' white group after Friday’s play is complete. It’s certainly very tricky, because as of now, nobody is guaranteed a slot just as nobody has been eliminated. What that means is that all four players have EVERYTHING to play for.
