This year’s Tournament of Champions will be held from October 29 to November 5 in Cancun, with a total prize pool of $9,000,000.

Aryna Sabalenko, Iga Svyatek, Coco Gauff, Olena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, Marketa Vondrousova, Ons Zhaber and Karolina Muhova will start.

After a decisive loss to Coco Gauff in the WTA quarterfinals in Beijing, Greece’s Maria Sakkari did not participate, but remained on the list as a reserve along with American Madison Keys.

Defending champion Caroline Garcia failed to qualify for this year’s tournament.

Coco Gauff / Jessica Pegula, Storm Hunter / Elise Mertens, Barbora Krejcikova / Kateryna Siniakova and Desiree Krawczyk / Demi Schurs have so far qualified for the doubles competition.
