Świątek’s WTA Finals race remains tight

Świątek remains around 10th in the Race and says the unfamiliar qualification situation feels unprecedented, while emphasizing a match-by-match approach. She trails Svitolina by 1,225 points and Muchová by 816; Nosková’s withdrawal from Wuhan with a calf injury may alter the qualification picture. Wuhan and Ningbo remain crucial, with Ningbo now the more significant ranking-points opportunity.
