They will be played from today, Saturday 2nd to Saturday 9th November, in Riyadh Wta Finals women’s, the tennis tournament reserved for the top eight players in the world rankings. Jasmine Paolininumber 4 in the WTA ranking, has been included in the Viola Group and will make her debut today, not before 5.30 pm Italian time, against the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, number 5 in the world. The Tuscan athlete will also be involved in the double with Sara Erraniwith which he won the Olympic gold in Paris: “Playing it – he said – helps me a lot, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these results all came together. I started playing doubles every week and also improved in singles. Sara it’s very important, I’m trying to steal something from her tennis, from her way of understanding the game, because she is more tactical than me on the court. Of course, physically it is not easy to play singles and doubles in all tournaments, but for me there are only positive elements.”
Women’s finals, here are the two groups
With Jasmine Paolini, the tennis players qualified for the 2024 WTA Finals in singles are Aryna Sabalenkaworld first player, Iga Swiakek, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, Qinwen Zheng and Barbora Krejcikova.
The eight players were divided into two groups, Purple Group and Orange Group. As number 4, Paolini had the certainty of avoiding Coco Gauff, number 3, and of drawing one between Sabalenka and Swiatek. The other opponents will be: Elena Rybakina and the Chinese Zheng.
These, therefore, are the two complete groups.
Viola Group: Sabalenka, Paolini, Rybakina, Zheng.
Orange Group: Swiatek, Gauff, Pegula, Krejciokova
In the Finals there is no classic direct elimination tennis format. The top two from each group advance to the semi-finals, the winners of the semi-finals will play the final.
