WTA Finals 2015 Racquets – Usual Picture

Updated 22.10 – Safarova became last participant  of WTA FINALS 2015.

Updated 21.10 – Pennetta and Kerber made it to WTA FINALS. Still one place open, with Safarova, Bacsinszky and Suarez Navarro possible participants.

We are just one week ahead to WTA Finals 2015. Immediately after finish of Moscow and Luxembourg tournaments, main WTA event of the year will start in Singapore.

BNP PARIBAS WTA Finals 2015 starts on Sunday, 25th October with group stage matches. We will know this year winner week later on Sunday, 1st November when final match take place. Unfortunately last year title defendant Serena Williams will not participate as she ends the season after disappointing finish of US Open Grand Slam.

However there are still many good women players who will try to gain as much glory they can (and also their share of 7 000 000 USD prize money).

Let`s have a look on racquets we will see in action in Singapore. We do not know all participants yet, as there are still more contenders for final eight places. Here is the list of already qualified women and also names of potential players (we will update the list regularly in next days to get final list next Saturday)

We got the picture about equipment which is quite usual in women tennis these days. It  would be surprising if Wilson will not be the most used brand by players in Singapore. Babolat still have a chance to draw at least, however the chance is not very high.  Wilson with four players confirms his dominant position in women tennis.
