The current world number 1 has announced her withdrawal from the 2026 WTA Finals due to physical issues, and the tournament's draw is significantly affected.

The American returns to the tournament she conquered two seasons ago, although the venue or her current form has nothing to do with it. Without her name being heavily mentioned in the predictions, Gauff arrives ready to make a surprise.

The Ukrainian returns seven years later to the WTA Finals, a tournament she already won in 2018. Now, more mature and experienced, she faces this final challenge of the season with a personal burden that is impossible to set aside.
