ST PETERSBURG, FL, USA – The WTA announced today that Aryna Sabalenka has secured qualification for the 2024 WTA Finals, which will be hosted for the first time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from November 2 to 9.
Sabalenka, who will be making her fourth consecutive appearance in singles at the prestigious showpiece event and finished as runner-up in 2022, joins Iga Swiatek in the draw who secured her place in Riyadh in August.
Sabalenka has been ever-present on the PIF Race to the WTA Finals Leaderboard in 2024 having reached back-to-back finals at the start of the season, contesting the title match at the WTA 500 Brisbane International presented by Evie then defending her title at the Australian Open to earn her second singles Grand Slam crown.
