All eyes are on Riyadh as China's tennis phenom Zheng Qinwen prepares to face her formidable rival Aryna Sabalenka at the 2024 WTA Finals this weekend! 🌍 The two will clash in the Purple Group opener – a showdown dripping with history as Sabalenka leads their head-to-head 4-0, including a dramatic three-set Wuhan Open final victory last month.
Zheng, 21, has skyrocketed this year with Olympic gold 🥇 and three major titles. But the Aussie Open runner-up faces a tough path: she's yet to defeat either Sabalenka or groupmate Elena Rybakina. Her ace card? A perfect 3-0 record against Italy's Jasmine Paolini.
Meanwhile, defending champ Iga Swiatek leads the Orange Group with American stars Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, plus Wimbledon winner Barbora Krejcikova. With $9 million in prize money and year-end bragging rights at stake, every serve counts!
📅 Mark your calendars: Group matches start Saturday, with semifinals on November 8 and the grand finale November 9. Will Zheng rewrite history or will Sabalenka cement her dominance? Game on! 🎯
