Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina or Coco Gauff? The Sky Sports tennis panel make their predictions ahead of the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The top eight singles players will converge on the King Saud University Sports Arena from Saturday to battle for the prestigious season-ending championship - live on Sky Sports. Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff will all be vying for glory, while the year-end world No 1 ranking will also be up for grabs.
Much as I dislike following the crowd, I've tried to make a case for the other six to beat the big two, and failed. Iga-Aryna it is, then!Surprise Package: How quickly we all forget Rybakina was the form player from February to April and, based on the first half of the season, was a potential challenger for top spot herself. We're told injuries derailed her year but detail has been lacking. Sometimes players need to take time away.
