✔️ Qualification and Road to the Competition 2022

If you are new to the tennis world, then you might not be aware as to how it is that players earn the right to take part in this prestigious competition. If this is the case, then we will explain it now for you. If you are familiar with this already, then feel free to jump ahead to the next section of this prediction.

In order to qualify for this tennis competition, WTA players compete in a number of WTA tournaments and four Grand Slam events, and each player will earn ranking points based on how they perform at these events. Then, at the end of the tennis season, the eight players who have picked up the most points will be invited to battle it out at the 2022 WTA Finals.

For the singles, which is what we are focusing on in this prediction, the points are calculated by adding the total points from 16 events. From these 16 events, a player's result from the Grand Slam competitions, four WTA 1000 events that offer 1,000 points to the winner, and the two best results from two WTA competitions with a maximum of 900 points on offer need to be included alongside the points gained from six other countable events.

Below we have provided you with a table that highlights the number of points that each of this year's eight participants earned across the season and the date that the qualified for the competition. It is wise to have a good look at this table because it gives you a good idea as to the form that a player is in. Obviously, the player that has collected the most points has been the most in-form player of the season.

⭐ A Look at the Eight Qualifiers

In this section of our prediction, we are going to have a quick look at the eight quality players that will be battling it out for tennis glory in Texas.

Iga Swiatek

Swiatek has had quite the 2022 as can be seen from the fact that she picked up twice as many points as Ons Jabeur, who qualified for this event in second place. At the start of the year she reached the Australia Open semi-finals before going on a remarkable run that saw her win 37 matches in a row and pick up six trophies - this included winning the French Open.

After a lean summer, Swiatek's form returned, and she won the US Open to claim her third Grand Slam title. On her way to this title, she defeated Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula, and Ons Jabeur - all three players, you will have noticed are playing at the 2022 WTA Finals. Thanks to her fantastic year, the Polish international actually acquired the necessary points for qualification to the WTA Finals in May, but her participation was only confirmed on the 12th of September.

Ons Jabeur

Jabeur is the first North African and Arab woman to play at the WTA Finals. She started 2022 at the Australian Open, but she had to withdraw due to an injury that would keep her out for some time. On her return, she reached a couple of ranking finals, and then she became the first North African and Arab woman to lift a WTA 1000 title when she won in Madrid - she beat the likes of Simona Halep, Belinda Bencic, and Jessica Pegula to win.

She had a poor French Open, losing in the first round, but she reached the final of Wimbeldon, where she lost to Elena Rybakina. Then, she made it to the US Open final, but lost to Swiatek.

Jessica Pegula

Pegula was one of the most consistent players of the 2022 season. At the start of the year she made it to the quarters of the Australian Open, and then made it to a number of quarter-finals and semi-finals in other competitions in Madrid, Miami, and Rome. She then made it to the French Open quarter-finals, the third round of Wimbledon, and the quarters of the US Open - in the French Open and the US Open, she was knocked out by Swiatek. She picked up her maiden WTA 1000 trophy in Guadalajara, beating the likes of Bianca Andreescu, Elena Rybakina, Victoria Azarenka, and Maria Sakkari along the way.

Coco Gauff

In 2022, Gauff became the most successful teenage tennis player since Maria Sharapova. She reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, and then made it to the quarter-finals in Doha, where she lost to Sakkari. She went on to play well at Indian Wells and Miami, and she used this form to make it to the final of the French Open, where she was defeated by Swiatek.

She made it to the semis in Berlin, and the quarters in San Jose, Toronto, and the US Open. Despite the fact that she was one of the most consistent players this year, she did not pick up a single title.

Maria Sakkari

Sakkari started off the year by making it to the fourth round in the Australian Open, and she followed this up by making it to the final in St. Petersburg, the semi-final in Doha, and the final in Indian Wells. After a pretty mediocre summer, she made it to the final in Parma and in Guadalajara, where she finished as runner-up on both occasions. Just like Gauff, she did not win a single title in 2022, so she will be looking to make amends for this in the 2022 WTA Finals.

Caroline Garcia

Garcia had a mixed start to 2022, making it to the quarters in Sydney before losing in the first round of the Australian Open. She made it to the semis in Lyon, but was inconsistent on the hard court and did not play at her best on the clay court. She won the trophy at Bad Homburg, and then made it to the fourth round of Wimbledon. During the summer, she made it to the semis in Lausanne and the quarters in Palermo, before lifting another title in Warsaw, where she beat Swiatek.

She then lifted another trophy in Cincinnati, where she beat Pegula, Sakkari, and Sabalenka, and she then made it to the Semis of the US Open. Despite this success, she had a pretty mediocre end to her season, where she only won one match in three events.

Aryna Sabalenka

At the start of the year Sabalenka could not get her service game right, but she managed to rectify it in time for the Australian Open, where she made it to the fourth round. She then made it to the quarters in Doha, but went out early in Miami and Indian Wells. After a defeat in the final in Stuttgart and the semis in Rome to Swiatek, she made it to the third round of the French Open.

She was not able to participate at Wimbledon due to her Russian nationality, and she then went on to make it to the semis in Cincinnati and the semis in the US Open, where she lost to Swiatek for the 4th time in 2022. Despite her consistent play, the Russian did not manage to pick up a single trophy this season.

Daria Kasatkina

She had a pretty successful start to 2022, making it to the semis in both Melbourne and Sydney. However, she then suffered three early exists in the Australian open, Doha, and Dubai, losing on all occasions to Swiatek. She managed to make it to the semi-finals in Rome, where she was defeated by Jabeur. At the French Open, she defeated Giorgi and Kudermetova on her way to the semis, where she lost to Swiatek again.

She picked up her first title of the year in San Jose, and then she picked up her second title by winning in Granby. Despite this success, she struggled with her consistency towards the end of the end of the season and did not make it past the third round in any remaining competition.

🥇 Who Will Win? Our Prediction!

So, who do we think will go on and win the 2022 WTA Finals? Do we feel that the bookmakers are correct in making Swiatek the overall favourite, or do we think that there will be some sort of upset on the cards?

Well, we can tell you that we happen to agree with the odds that the top sports betting sites in the table above have on offer. When you look at the season that Swiatek has had when compared to the other seven participants, betting on her to finish her season in style seems like the very sensible thing to do. If she plays at the top of her game, then there is every chance that she will be able to win the competition without losing a match – remember players are not knocked out if they lose in the group stage.

If you do not like the odds that are on offer for Swiatek because you will need to place a big stake in order to win a decent profit, then you could consider putting your money on Ons Jabeur to become the first North African and Arab woman to win this event. We feel that she has the talent to beat Swiatek if she plays to the best of her ability and Swiatek is a little bit off hers.

Our match prediction: Swiatek to win.
