Karolina Muchova has claimed the eighth and final berth at the WTA Finals after Marta Kostyuk was forced to retire from her Ningbo Open match on Wednesday. The Czech's qualification rounds out a compelling lineup for Indian Wells.

Mirra Andreeva has been the story of 2026. The teenager boasts a 50-16 record and a maiden Grand Slam triumph at Roland Garros - a breathtaking breakthrough year by any measure.
Jessica Pegula (50-13) has been a model of consistency, reaching five finals and lifting two trophies. Coco Gauff, the 2024 champion at 47-15, is targeting a resurgence following a productive hard-court swing.
Elina Svitolina makes a welcome return to the season-ending showpiece with a 46-14 record and two titles, while Linda Noskova (35-15) arrives as a first-time Wimbledon champion.
