With just one day to go for the WTA Finals to begin, the eight participants — Iga Swiatek, Ons Jabeur, Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, Maria Sakkari, Caroline Garcia, Aryna Sabalenka, and Daria Kasatkina are beyond thrilled to be a part of the prestigious tournament.
The event is scheduled to be held from October 31 to November 7 at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. The tournament has returned to the USA for the first time since Los Angeles was the host in 2005.
Swiatek, Gauff, Garcia, and Kasatkina are in the Tracy Austin group, with Ons Jabeur, Pegula, Sakkari, and Sabalenka in the Nancy Richey group. While the players dressed up and got together for the grand gala party a couple of days ago, they attended press conferences on Saturday.
Starting with Ons Jabeur, here’s a look at the best quotes from each player before the tournament:
Ons Jabeur is one of four WTA Finals debutants.
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek was asked about her reaction to Simona Halep getting suspended and what the Pole did to ensure something similar didn’t happen to her.
Maria Sakkari seemed a little offended when asked how she felt after ending up at the event “unexpectedly.” She seemed and stated that there was nothing unexpected and that she had remained a top-10 player for a long time.
Eighth-ranked Daria Kasatkina revealed that instead of her competitors, she watched and tried to learn from the men’s circuit.
