The Final Qualifiers

The American-Dutch partnership triumphed at the WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells) and celebrated a historic win at the WTA 500 HSBC Championships, marking the return of women’s tennis to London’s Queen’s Club after over 50 years. For Muhammad, this is her first appearance at the season finale, while Schuurs is celebrating her sixth qualification, with three previous semifinal runs.
