WATCH: Swiatek is heading to Fort Worth having won 14 of her last 15 matches, including titles at the US Open and San Diego.

FORT WORTH, Texas—The WTA is gearing up for its grand finale at the 2022 WTA Finals, and all eyes are on the two round robin groups that will yield its four semifinalists next week.

Top seeds and US Open finalists Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur lead Group Tracy Austin and Group Nancy Richey, respectively.

Swiatek and Jabeur last faced off in Flushing Meadows, where Swiatek won her second major title of the season—and third overall—and arrives in Fort Worth on the back of another impressive stretch of form, having won 14 of her last 15 matches and her 11th WTA title in San Diego.

Joining Swiatek in Group Tracy Austin are No. 4 seed Coco Gauff, Caroline Garcia, and Daria Kasatkina.

Jabeur was last in action at the first staging of her home tournament in Monastir, Tunisia. As the top seed, she reached the quarterfinals. The 28-year-old caps a breakthrough season that featured back-to-back Grand Slam finals with a WTA Finals debut after falling just short of the Elite 8 in 2021.

Jabeur is flanked in Group Nancy Richey by No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula, Maria Sakkari, and Aryna Sabalenka.

The doubles draw was also revealed on Friday. Top-seeded team and defending champions Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova headlining Group Rosie Casals with No. 3 seeds Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, Xu Yifan and Yang Zhaoxuan, and Desirae Krawczyk and Demi Schuurs.

No. 2 seeds Gabriela Dabrowski and Giuliana Olmos anchor Group Pam Shriver with No. 4 seeds Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens, Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jelena Ostapenko, and Anna Danilina and Beatriz Haddad Maia.

The Top 8 women are competing in Fort Worth, Texas for the first time after 2021’s WTA Finals took place in Guadalajara, Mexico, for as much as $1.68 million dollars in singles and $360,000—provided the champions goes undefeated in round robin play.
