Tournament

Singapore Indoor Stadium hosted the WTA Finals for the first time in 2014.

The 2016 WTA Finals will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium the week of October 24, 2016, and will be the 46th edition of the event.[3] The tournament is run by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) as part of the 2016 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. The event will also hold two exhibition tournaments, WTA Rising Stars Invitational and the WTA Legends Event.

Qualifying

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.

Singles
