During the 2022 US Open Grand Slam, women’s tennis authorities confirmed that this year’s WTA Finals will take place October 31-November 7. The competition will be held at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, located near Dallas, Texas.
After the competition ended in New York and the new location for the tournaments was confirmed, the first entrants to this prestigious competition were announced. Iga Šwijk, who is playing an impressive season, will be the top seed in the 2022 WTA Tour. The Polish women have already won seven tournaments, including two Grand Slams – Roland Garros and the US Open.
I’m so excited to qualify for the WTA Finals for the second time. I’m looking forward to playing in front of the crowd in Fort Worth – commented Sweetick (adapted from the WTA), who withdrew from Mexico’s Guadalajara group stage last year, but this time would be the favorite to win.

Aside from Christmas, there is also Ons Jabeur in the WTA Finals. Thus, Tunisia became the first Arab woman to qualify for the tournament. In the 2022 season, she triumphed in Madrid and Berlin and reached the finals of Wimbledon, US Open, Charleston and Rome.
It is a great honor to qualify for the WTA Finals. Jaber said it has been one of my goals since the start of the season and I am looking forward to competing in this competition as one of the top eight tennis players in the world.
The WTA Finals will feature eight of the best singles and eight of the best doubles in the 2022 season. Last year’s champions Barbora Krejsikova and Katerina Siniakova are already confident in the doubles match. This year, the Czechs won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, thanks to which they completed the so-called Career Grand Slam (they won all Grand Slam titles in doubles during their career).
