Top seed Aryna Sabalenka headlines the Graf Group, and will be joined by No. 3 and defending champion Coco Gauff, No. 5 Jessica Pegula, and No. 8 Jasmine Paolini.

No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek leads the Williams Group alongside No. 4 Amanda Anisimova, No. 6 Elena Rybakina, and No. 7 Madison Keys.

Gauff won her first WTA Finals title last year, defeating both Sabalenka and Swiatek en route to her biggest title of that season. She arrives in Riyadh having captured her second Grand Slam title at Roland Garros—beating Sabalenka in the final—and picking up another WTA 1000 title at the Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open.

Sabalenka will look to win her first WTA Finals title, having finished runner-up to Caroline Garcia back in 2022. The world No. 1 is tentatively a lock to clinch a second consecutive year-end World No. 1, and has spent the last 54 weeks atop the WTA rankings.

2023 champion Iga Swiatek rose back to No. 2 after roaring to her first Wimbledon title earlier this summer, backing up that win with a WTA 1000 title at the Cincinnati Open. She will face Grand Slam rematches against Amanda Anisimova, who defeated her in the US Open quarterfinals, and Madison Keys, who won their Australian Open semifinal.

Round robin action will begin on Saturday November 1.
