Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, Sam Stosur and Agnieszka Radwanska could also take the top ranking, but the No. 2-ranked Kvitova is the favorite.

Caroline Wozniacki currently holds the top spot, but with her poor run in Grand Slams I doubt highly that she will be number 1 when the tournament ends.

Since Maria Sharapova decided to withdraw from the WTA Tour Championships, this means that Caroline Wozniacki will finish the year as the worlds number 1 female tennis player. Wozniacki had a strong year, but yet again no Grand Slam title to her name! It seems like Wozniacki is very consistent, but lacks the killer instinct in the big matches.

Wozniacki becomes only the 8th women in history to get the number 1 spot in back to back years.

Samantha Stosur has had a great start to the WTA Tour Championships. This is the first time Stosur defeated Sharapova in the last 10 meetings. Stosur won 6-1 7-5.

“Obviously it’s a big feat for me. You never want to lose to someone 10 times in a row,” Stosur beamed said. “I was feeling pretty focused, relaxed and ready to go. I did a few things differently and thankfully it paid off.”

This was also Maria Sharapova’s first tournament in a month since her ankle injury.

“It’s obviously tough to come back after a month and compete at this level but the good thing is I gave myself a chance and did everything I could to even be here, so I’m happy,” she said “I still have a couple of matches to go and time to improve”

Samantha Stosur is the latest player to qualify for the WTA tour year ending championships in Istanbul.

Radwanska’s 7-5 0-6 6-4 win over German Andrea Petkovic ensured Stosur’s place in Turkey.

However, since winning in New York Stosur has been struggling with form and only won oen match in two tournaments. Hopefully she can improve her play before year end.
