Aryna Sabalenka has had a mixed season so far and is making ground when it matters. She started the season with a fourth-round outing at the Australian Open and then had a decent clay season where she made it to the final of the Stuttgart Open. She also made it to the semifinal of the Italian Open, but crashed out of the third round at Roland Garros. On the grass, she reached the final at s-Hertogenbosch and then had a good North American swing where she reached the semifinals at Cincinnati and the US Open.

This week at Fort Worth, she won 2 out of 3 group stage matches and then stunned top seed and tournament favorite Iga Swiatek in the semifinals in three sets 6-2,2-6,6-1 to reach the biggest final of her career.

Not many expected Caroline Garcia to qualify for the year-end finals, but she has some really good results to support her claim and is proving to be amongst the best in the world this week. Most of her excellent results this year came during the North-American hard court season where she won the Cincinnati Open and made it to the semifinals of the US Open.

Like Sabalenka, she too qualified for the semifinals after winning 2 out of 3 group stage matches and got the better of Maria Sakkari in the semifinals in straight sets 6-3,6-2.

Both Sabalenka and Garcia didn’t have the best seasons, but will contest for the biggest WTA title of the year. They have peaked at the right time and have a suitable game for indoor hard courts. Sabalenka relies on her big serve and heavy baseline strokes while Garcia loves to toy her opponent around before finishing big. Expect a tight match with Sabalenka winning the last tournament of the season and the biggest title of her career.

Prediction: Sabalenka to win in three sets.
