WTA Finals i Shenzhen: Opdatering efter dag 6

I denne uge er vi nået frem til årets sidste store WTA Turnering, nemlig WTA Finals i Shenzhen i Kina, eller WTA Slutspillet, som det også kaldes.

Det var Verdens 8 bedste på Rankingen der er med fra start, men Naomi Osaka har måtte trække sig fra turneringen, så nummer 10 Kiki Bertens nu er kommet med ind som Alternate.

De spiller i år om en record stor præmie sum på ca. 100 millioner kr. og der er ca. godt 31 millioner kr. til vinderen af Singles finalen på søndag, hvis vinderen ikke taber kampe.
