It was a race down to the wire, but when Carla Suarez Navarro lost her quarterfinal match at the Kremlin Cup on Thursday, the field for the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global was set in stone. The last four to round out the elite eight were Agnieszka Radwanska, Angelique Kerber, Flavia Pennetta, and Lucie Safarova. Just like the first half of the field, the level of competition from the second half has been top notch, particularly towards the end of the season.
The fifth seed, Agnieszka Radwanska, is a WTA finals veteran, landing in the top eight four times before.
