Tournament
The 2018 WTA Finals took place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium the week of October 21, 2018, and was the 48th edition of the event. This was the final year in which Singapore hosted the event.[2] The tournament was run by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) as part of the 2018 WTA Tour. Singapore was the ninth city to host the WTA Finals since its inauguration in 1972.
Qualifying
In singles, point totals are calculated by combining point totals from sixteen tournaments. Of these sixteen tournaments, a player's results from the four Grand Slam events, the four Premier Mandatory tournaments, and (for Top 20 players at the end of 2017) the best results from two Premier 5 tournaments must be included.
In doubles, point totals are calculated by any combination of eleven tournaments throughout the year. Unlike in singles, this combination does not need to include results from the Grand Slams or Premier-level tournaments.
Format
The singles event features eight players in a round robin event, split into two groups of four. Over the first four days of competition, each player meets the other three players in her group, with the top two in each group advancing to the semifinals. The first-placed player in one group meets the second-placed player in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match. The doubles event returns to a single elimination event. The winners of each quarterfinal match will advance to the semifinals and the winners of each semifinal match will advance to the final.
Round robin tie-breaking methods
The final standings were made using these methods:
- Greatest number of wins.
- Greatest number of matches played.
- Head-to-head results if only two players are tied, or if three players are tied then:
- a. If three players each have the same number of wins, a player having played less than all three matches is automatically eliminated and the player advancing to the single elimination competition is the winner of the match-up of the two remaining tied players.
- b. Highest percentage of sets won.
- c. Highest percentage of games won.
Prize money and points
The total prize money for the BNP Paribas 2018 WTA Finals was US$7,000,000.[3]

However, she lost the final of the Western & Southern Open to Kiki Bertens despite having a match point. This loss was a start of a bad stretch for the Romanian as she became the first top seed to lose in the first round of the US Open when she fell to Kaia Kanepi. She then lost her opening round matches at the Wuhan Open and China Open, giving her a four match losing streak coming into the WTA Finals. However, she announced that she would withdraw from the event because of an ongoing back injury. Even though, Halep secured the year-end No. 1 for a second consecutive year.

She found form in St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy defeating Kristina Mladenovic in the final, before winning a second title two weeks later at the Qatar Total Open with a three-set victory over Garbiñe Muguruza. She was unable to continue this form in BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open, losing in the second round and fourth round to Amanda Anisimova and Jeļena Ostapenko respectively. Kvitová's clay court season also began slowly, falling in the first round of Volvo Car Open and Porsche Tennis Grand Prix to Kristýna Plíšková and Angelique Kerber, respectively. However, she quickly turned her form around, winning her third and fourth titles of the year at J&T Banka Prague Open and Mutua Madrid Open, defeating Mihaela Buzărnescu and Kiki Bertens in the respective finals. She then lost in the third round of the French Open to Anett Kontaveit.

Caroline Wozniacki began her season at the ASB Classic losing the final to Julia Görges. She then went on to win her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.

After reaching the quarterfinals of St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy losing to Daria Kasatkina and the semi-finals in Qatar Total Open losing to Petra Kvitová, Wozniacki was unable to progress far in BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open, losing in the fourth round and second round to Daria Kasatkina and Monica Puig respectively.
Wozniacki had a relatively quiet clay-court swing, suffering quarterfinal losses at the İstanbul Cup to Pauline Parmentier and Italian Open to Kiki Bertens as well as a third round loss in Mutua Madrid Open to Anett Kontaveit. At the French Open, she fell in the fourth round, losing to Daria Kasatkina for the third time on the season. Wozniacki won her second title of the year in Eastbourne International, defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the final. She was unable to find the same success at Wimbledon, suffering a second-round loss to Ekaterina Makarova.
Opening round losses in Rogers Cup to Sabalenka and Western & Southern Open to Bertens were followed by an early exit at the US Open, falling to Lesia Tsurenko in the second round in straight sets. The poor results continued for Wozniacki in Toray Pan Pacific Open and Wuhan Open, where she lost in the second round at both tournaments to Camila Giorgi and Puig. However, she turned her form around in Beijing, where she defeated Anastasija Sevastova in the final, claiming her first Premier Mandatory title in over seven years, doing so without dropping a set all tournament.
On 14 October, Sloane Stephens was announced to be making her debut at the event as the sixth qualifier.[8]
Sloane Stephens was unable to find her form in the opening season, losing both first rounds of

Nonetheless, she moved up to career-high No. 3 after the tournament. During the US Open Series, she started with a second round loss to Andrea Petkovic at the Citi Open.

On 17 October, Elina Svitolina and Karolína Plíšková became the last qualifiers.[9]
Elina Svitolina had an excellent start to the year, claiming the Brisbane International title, defeating Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the final for the loss of just three games. Her good form continued until the Australian Open quarterfinals, where she was upset by Elise Mertens. A third round loss to eventual champion Petra Kvitová in Doha was quickly followed by a successful defence of her title in Dubai. Her momentum stuttered at the first Premier Mandatory events of the season, losing to Carla Suárez Navarro in the third round of Indian Wells and Jeļena Ostapenko in the quarterfinals of Miami. Her clay court season began with a defeat to Caroline Garcia in the quarterfinals of Stuttgart, and a second defeat of the year to Suárez Navarro in the second round of Madrid. This was followed by her third title of the year, and second consecutive in Rome, brushing aside World Number 1 Simona Halep in the final. At the French Open, however, despite her momentum she suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of Mihaela Buzărnescu in the third round.
Svitolina's transition onto grass courts proved to be a stumbling block for her campaign, once again losing to Buzărnescu in the quarterfinals of Birmingham, followed by a loss to Tatjana Maria in the first round of Wimbledon. She did, however, regain some momentum entering the US Open Series, reaching the semifinals of the Rogers Cup, where she was the defending champion, losing to Sloane Stephens, and subsequently the quarterfinals in Cincinnati, losing there to eventual champion Kiki Bertens. She rounded out her 2018 Grand Slam campaign with a second successive round of 16 appearance at the US Open, losing to Anastasija Sevastova in three sets. A disappointing Asian swing ensued for Svitolina, as she lost back-to-back opening round matches in Wuhan, to eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka, and Beijing to Aleksandra Krunić. A quarterfinal defeat to Wang Qiang in Hong Kong meant that qualification for Singapore depended on the performances of her competitors in Moscow.
Karolína Plíšková began her year at the Brisbane International reaching the semifinals, losing to
During the grass season, Pliskova once again lost to Magdaléna Rybáriková in the opening round of Birmingham Classic. Pliskova was more fortunate at the Eastbourne International reaching the quarterfinals losing to Aryna Sabalenka. At Wimbledon, Pliskova was able to reach the fourth round, thus breaking her streak of 5-consecutive second round exits, but fell to Kiki Bertens. Her results at the US Open Series were disappointing, losing in the second rounds of Rogers Cup and Western & Southern Open to Bertens and Sabalenka, respectively. She then fell to Ekaterina Makarova in her opening round at the Connecticut Open. However, despite this results, she was able to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open without dropping a set but lost to Serena Williams.
