It has all come down to the final two at the WTA Finals. After action-packed madness, that lasted for around a week, it is Coco Gauff who will be looking to take on Qinwen Zheng for a whopping $4 million prize money and the lavish trophy in Riyadh. But, with the stage set for a thriller, who among the two has an upper hand advantage?
Coco Gauff has capped off her 2024 season with an impressive showing at the WTA Finals, securing victories over both top-ranked players of the season, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka. This remarkable run ensured that neither Swiatek nor Sabalenka would continue in the title race, adding a significant achievement to Gauff’s season. Despite some challenges earlier in the year, Gauff has ended strongly, having a 12-2 record since the start of the Asian Swing
Under the guidance of her new coach, Matt Daly, her baseline game has become more dynamic, contributing to her success. One of Gauff’s recent losses came at the hands of Sabalenka in Wuhan, but she managed to avenge that loss on Friday, further showcasing her progress.
Qinwen Zheng also delivered an outstanding performance to end her season on a high note. After making the Australian Open final and winning a gold medal at the Paris Olympics, Zheng faced pressure to qualify for the WTA Finals. She responded with a strong Asian Swing, securing her place and carrying that momentum into the Finals.
