In the early morning of November 1, 2021, the 2021 WTA250 Transylvania Open came to an end in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Estonian champion Kontawirt defeated top seed Halep 6-2, 6-3 to lock in the women's singles title without losing a set, locking in the last place in the women's singles of this year's WTA year-end finals. As a result, a new lineup for the WTA year-end finals was created.
They are Sabalenka, Krejickova, Ka Pliskova, Sakkari, Swatak, Muguruza, Bardoza and Finalist Kontawit. World No. 1 Barty withdrew.
Due to the epidemic, the WTA has removed the Asian Tour from the calendar for the second consecutive year, and the WTA has announced that the 2021 season year-end finals will be relocated from Shenzhen to Guadalajara, Mexico, and the tournament will start on November 8.
China's mainland player Zhang Shuai was shortlisted for the doubles qualification for the finals due to his outstanding performance in the Cincinnati tournament and the US Open doubles competition, and the other is Taiwanese doubles star Xie Shuwei, who will appear in the doubles arena of the finals. We look forward to their excellent results.
