World No.1 Iga Swiatek is the hot favourite when the season-ending WTA Finals kick off on Monday in Fort Worth, Texas, as she looks to put the cherry on top of a blockbuster 2022.

The 21-year-old Pole collected her second Roland Garros title and won four WTA 1000 tournaments amid a staggering 37-match unbeaten streak before hoisting the trophy at the US Open this year.

A pair of confident wins over Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula en route to the San Diego title earlier this month underlined her claim as the biggest threat and she is the only grand slam winner in the field.

Tunisian fan favourite Ons Jabeur will feature for the first time with revenge on the agenda after losing in back-to-back grand slam finals, most recently in Flushing Meadows against Swiatek.

The WTA Finals run from October 31 through November 7.
