The WTA Finals will be the last stop on the women's calendar this season, where the top eight players of the season will meet in Riyadh to crown a master. With a month to go before the event, this is how the battle for the last few spots is shaping up.

Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Amanda Anisimova, Coco Gauff, and Madison Keys. Currently, these are the five players who have already mathematically secured their spots in the 2025 WTA Finals, including Keys, who secured her place thanks to her title at the Australian Open. From here, several women will battle it out to secure one of the three remaining spots. Let's take a look at their names and, more importantly, their chances of fulfilling the final goal of the season.

The battle for qualification to the 2025 WTA Finals

- Players vying for the last three spots at the 2025 WTA Finals

#5 Jessica Pegula (4,598 points)

With the current cutoff to enter at 5,203 points, it's inevitable to think that the American will once again land at the season-ending event. She is closer than any of her pursuers, although a decent result at the Wuhan WTA 1000, considering her top 10 status, would be enough to secure the ticket she has been chasing. It's just a matter of days before it becomes official, and Riyadh witnesses how the Americans dominate half the draw.

#7 Mirra Andreeva (4,319 points)

The Russian has slowed down in recent months, which is normal considering she is only 18 years old and that in March, she won two consecutive WTA 1000 titles. Time must be given, but I still believe that her qualification for Riyadh is a foregone conclusion, simply based on points. Like Pegula, she needs to advance a few rounds in Wuhan to achieve her goal, hoping at all times that her pursuers don't outperform her.

#8 Elena Rybakina (3,806 points)

Here we enter the real fight since Rybakina by no means has anything guaranteed until November. Not only does she have to leave Wuhan with a good haul of points, but she will most likely need to maintain consistency until the end of the Asian tour, where we will see how many tournaments she plans to compete in. There are four weeks of activity left until Riyadh, and it's up to her to defend the eighth position.

#9 Jasmine Paolini (3,751 points)

Here lies Rybakina's main problem: her main pursuer, the woman who trails the Kazakh by just 55 points, an insignificant difference that doesn't even equate to a round win in the upcoming Wuhan WTA tournament. It seems that both will battle it out for that last spot, although Paolini needs to be cautious with her workload or maintain activity in both circuits since she struggled a bit last year. Like Elena, the Italian will have to juggle both singles and doubles over these four weeks to maximize her points.

#10 Ekaterina Alexandrova (3,136 points)

As the tenth-ranked player of the season, it's only fair to mention Alexandrova, who currently seems distant from the opportunity to be in Riyadh. She is sure to be a reserve, provided she maintains her position, although caution is advised if the Russian decides to take advantage of an open draw or secure a title in this latter part of the Asian tour. Behind her are Clara Tauson, Emma Navarro, Belinda Bencic, or Linda Noskova, who would also need exceptional results to boost their chances.
