In 2024, the 8 finalists are:
Kapliskova, Swiatek, Abdul-Jabbar, Pegula, Sabalenka, Mukhova, Krejcikova, Zheng Qinwen.
Judging from this lineup, this year's finals will be very exciting.

Class A:
Swiatek, Jabbar;
B-file:
Pegula, Mukhova;
C-file:
Sabalenka, Krejcikova;
D-file:
Kapliskova, Zheng Qinwen.
The draw rules for the 2024 WTA Finals have also been announced, with the top two players in Pot A and B being given priority to select their participating groups.
This means that the top two players in the money rankings, Swiatek and Jabbar, will have more control over whether they choose to play in Group A or Group B.
As for the other players, they will be grouped according to the results of the draw.
The total prize money of this tournament is as high as 15.25 million US dollars, a record high, which is undoubtedly the greatest encouragement and affirmation for the participating players.
This finals is a big deal for Zheng because it is not only a top-level event, but also an opportunity for her to hone and improve herself against other top players.
Zheng Qinwen's challenge.
Although Zheng Qinwen is in a hot state right now, she still faces many challenges.
First of all, in the record against other players, Zheng Qinwen's win rate is not high.
played Kapliskova twice and lost one;
Played Swiatek once, lost one;
Played two games against Abdul-Jabbar and lost one;
Played Pegula twice and lost one;
Played Sabalenka twice and lost one;
played one against Mukhova and lost one;
played Krejcikova once and lost one;
Played Maya twice and won one.
From these head-to-head records, it's not hard to see that Zheng Qinwen has a low win rate with other top players, which means that she urgently needs to improve her top-level head-to-head win record.
However, it was a tough battle against eight top players at the same time, and she needed to go through multiple matches to get used to the pressure of playing against them.
The WTA Finals will present Zheng with unprecedented challenges, while also providing her with a great opportunity to train and improve herself.
This is not only an important moment in Zheng Qinwen's career, but also an important step for her to continue to climb to the top.
Reform of the 2024 WTA Finals.
The 2024 WTA Finals will see a reform of the points rules.
Previously, qualification for the year-end finals was based on a player's performance in the regular season and point ranking.

In addition, the reform also moved the venue from China to United States, creating more opportunities for countless players to fight despite the difficult season in China.
