The WTA announced that Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova, Italy’s Sara Errani and Serbia’s Jelena Jankovic have qualified for this year’s TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships.

 

The event is to be staged at the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul, Turkey, from October 22-27, 2013. The three join a singles line-up that already includes Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka, Agnieszka Radwanska and Li Na.

 

Additionally, current world No.3 Maria Sharapova announced her withdrawal from the Championships due to a continuing right shoulder injury, which has limited her action in the second half of the season to only one event.

 

 

The TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships showcases the world’s best women tennis players as the Top 8 singles players and Top 4 doubles teams compete for a record-setting $6 million in prize money and one of the most prestigious titles in women’s tennis. Istanbul is set to host the elite season-ending competition for a triumphant third and final year.
