Set to serve: Get ready for the return of top tennis talent! After 54 events and four grand slams, the year’s eight best-ranked female players on the WTA Tour will make it to the 2016 BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global. Round up the family and head on down to the Singapore Sports Hub to be entertained by the world’s elite tennis players once more, and enjoy the festival-esque vibes and tennis-themed activities off-court too!
The tennis
Get ready for eight days of fast and furious tennis action courtesy of both a Singles and Doubles tournament. Keep tabs on which players are currently smashing the circuit via the WTA Road to Singapore leaderboard; week on week, you can view who’s in line to make the top eight. Stars currently in the running include past winner Serena Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska, as well as this year’s Australian Open winner and current leader on the Road to Singapore, Angelique Kerber. Will they all make the final cut? Watch this space!
The doubles tournament will also see tennis heavyweights join forces in a bid to become the ultimate racket-wielding duo. Both tournaments culminate in a grand final showdown on Sunday 30 October, and we anticipate both finales will be nail-biting! Brace yourself!
