The WTA Finals Singapore field is set. Elina Svitolina and Karolina Pliskova have officially qualified for the season-ending championships, which will be played for the final time at Singapore next week. Update: Kiki Bertens has also qualified, based on Simona Halep’s withdrawal. Here are the official eight qualifiers:

2. Naomi Osaka 🇯🇵
3. Petra Kvitova 🇨🇿
4. Caroline Wozniacki 🇩🇰
5. Sloane Stephens 🇺🇸
6. Elina Svitolina 🇺🇦
7. Karolina Pliskova 🇨🇿
8. Kiki Bertens 🇳🇱
Bertens and Pliskova both fell in early action at Moscow on Wednesday, which, at the time, sealed the fate of Bertens, who was bidding for a last-ditch run at the elite eight. But the Dutchwoman still qualifies for the main draw due to Halep’s withdrawal from Singapore. It’s well-deserved for Bertens, who leads the tour in Top 10 wins with ten in 2018. The Dutchwoman is the first woman from her country to qualify for the WTA’s season-ending championships since 1997.]]>
