The 2017 WTA Finals is a women's tennis tournament that will be held Kallang, Singapore. It will be the 47th edition of the singles event and the 42nd edition of the doubles competition. The tournament will be contested by eight singles players and eight doubles teams.
The 2017 WTA Finals will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium the week of October 23, 2017, and will be the 47th edition of the event. The tournament is run by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) as part of the 2017 WTA Tour. Singapore is now the ninth city to host the WTA Finals since its inauguration in 1972 and will host the event for at least five years.
In singles, point totals are calculated by combining point totals from sixteen tournaments. Of these sixteen tournaments, a player's results from the four Grand Slam events, the four Premier Mandatory tournaments, and the best results from two Premier 5 tournaments must be included.
In doubles, point totals are calculated by any combination of eleven tournaments throughout the year. Unlike in singles, this combination does not need to include results from the Grand Slams or Premier-level tournaments.
The singles event features eight players in a round robin event, split into two groups of four. Over the first four days of competition, each player meets the other three players in her group, with the top two in each group advancing to the semifinals. The first-placed player in one group meets the second-placed player in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match. The doubles event returns to a single elimination event. The winners of each quarterfinal match will advance to the semifinals and the winners of each semifinal match will advance to the final.
The final standings of each group were determined by the first of the following methods that applied:
