Singapore Race Heats up as WTA Season Begins Final Two Weeks



Things are really crowded in the WTA’s Road to Singapore standings, and all six players currently in contention for the final three WTA Finals slots will be in action this week in either Hong Kong, Linz or Tianjin.

As it stands now, Garbiñe Muguruza, Madison Keys and Johanna Konta are the current 6, 7 and 8 in the RTS standings, but only 82 points separate the No.7 from No. 9.

Konta slipped into 8th on the strength of her runner-up appearance at the China Open, but her lead over No.9 Dominika Cibulkova is just ten points.

Cibulkova will be in action at Linz this week but the Slovakian needs to reach at least the semifinals to earn any points. A semifinal appearance will give her 10 points, a runner-up will give her 80 and a title will earn her 180. Cibulkova is also entered at Moscow next week.

Konta could pick up 5 points with a quarterfinal, 55 with a semifinal, 125 with a runner-up and 225 with the title at Hong Kong. (See Full Hong Kong Draw Here)(See Full Tianjin Draw Here)

Keys took a wild card at Linz and she would expand her lead with a win in the first round by 30 points (60 for QF, 110 for SF, 180 for runner-up and 280 for title).

Muguruza is the safest of the six players. She is only defending one point and is the top seed in the Linz draw.

Carla Suárez Navarro and Svetlana Kuznetova are still in contention, but just barely.
