The2023 WTA Finals (officially theGNP Seguros WTA Finals Cancun) was theprofessional women's year-end championshiptennis tournament run by theWomen's Tennis Association (WTA). It was the 52nd edition of the singles event and the 47th edition of the doubles competition and took place inCancún,Mexico between 29 October and 6 November, marking the return to Mexico for the second time after the2021 edition was held inGuadalajara, and the fourth consecutive finals to be held in a different staged city (Shenzhen in2019, Guadalajara in2021, andFort Worth in2022).[2] The tournament was held on an outdoorhardcourt and was contested by the eight highest-ranked singles players and doubles teams of the2023 WTA Tour.
This was Świątek's sixth WTA Tour title of the year and first WTA Finals title.
There were four other cities in contention to host the WTA Finals prior to Cancún's selection as the host city. These cities wereRiyadh,Ostrava,Cluj-Napoca, andWashington, D.C. A temporary venue was built on the grounds of the Paradisus Cancún hotel at an estimated cost of $6 million. The stadium seats 4,300 people, the lowest capacity ever for the WTA Finals. Multiple players and coaches complained about the stadium's conditions, saying the surface was inconsistent.[3]
In the singles, point totals are calculated by combining point totals from sixteen tournaments (excludingITF andWTA 125 tournaments).[4] Of these sixteen tournaments, a player's results from the fourGrand Slam events, the fourWTA 1000 tournaments with 1,000 points for the winner, and (for the players who played the main draw of least two such tournaments) the best results from two WTA 1000 tournaments with 900 points for the winner must be included.
In the doubles, point totals are calculated by any combination of eleven tournaments throughout the year. Unlike in the singles, this combination does not need to include results from the Grand Slams or WTA 1000 tournaments.
Both the singles and doubles event features eight players/teams in around-robin event, split into two groups of four.
Over the first six days of competition, each player/team meets the other three players/teams in her group, with the top two in each group advancing to the semifinals. The first-placed player/team in one group meets the second-placed player/team in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match.
The final standings are made using these methods:
