First played in 1972, the WTA Finals adopted its current format in 2003 in which the top eight players in the world are divided into two groups of four each. Each of these four feature in three matches in a round-robin format and the top two players at the end of that qualify for the semifinals.
The semifinals are followed by the final.
While the Grand Slam winners earn 2000 points for a championship victory, a player winning the WTA Finals can earn up to 1500 points depending on the number of matches she wins.

What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the WTA Finals?
Such has been the nature of this competition that the last player to win more than one title at the WTA Finals was Serena Williams in 2014 – it was her third title. Since then, there have eight editions of this tournament and eight different female players have won the singles tournament.
In 2023, it was Iga Swiatek who lifted the singles trophy by defeating Jessica Pegula 6-1, 6-0 in the final.
Swiatek went undefeated in the tournament, beating Cori Gauff, Ons Jabeur and Marketa Vondrousova in the round-robin phase of the tournament before routing the top seeded Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals. In the other semis, Pegula overcame Cori Gauff 6-2, 6-1 to enter the final.
The doubles title was won by Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva who defeated Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez in the title-decider. Gauff and Pegula, who had also played in the singles draw, were the top seeds in the doubles but lost all their group matches to crash out of the competition.
