Caroline Wozniacki seals spot in season-ending WTA Finals

Wozniacki beat Radwanska in a lengthy semi-final

Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki became the sixth player to qualify for the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore.

The Dane, who defended her Pan Pacific title in Tokyo last week and reached six other finals this year, joins Garbine Muguruza, Simona Halep, Karolina Pliskova, Elina Svitolina and Venus Williams in Singapore with two spots left.

Wozniacki, who will make her fifth appearance at the event on October 22-29, reached the final in 2010 when Doha hosted the WTA Finals.

"I'm very excited that I've qualified for the WTA Finals again," the 27-year-old Wozniacki said in a statement.

"I have such great memories of the tournament, especially from 2010, and I can't wait to get to back to Singapore and play my best tennis in front of the amazing fans there."

The top eight singles players at the $7m prize money event will face off in a round-robin format for the Billie Jean King Trophy.

The eight best doubles teams will battle for the Martina Navratilova Trophy in a knock-out format.
