The final standings of each group shall be determined by the first of the following methods that apply: WTA players and TEB BNP Paribas, the title sponsor of the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships, made a joint donation of US$250,000 to the Turkish Red Crescent to support the victims of the recent devastating earthquake in Turkey.

Turkish Red Crescent took immediate action after the earthquake, mobilizing its staff and emergency supplies for thousands of victims.

She then reached three consecutive finals at the Dubai Tennis Championships defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova 6–1, 6–3, Qatar Ladies Open losing to Vera Zvonareva 4–6, 4–6, and Indian Wells beating Marion Bartoli 6–1, 2–6, 6–3.

However, she had a 3-match losing streak in the summer season before winning the New Haven Open at Yale against Petra Cetkovská 6–4, 6–1 for the 4th consecutive time.

She then reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open, upsetting 5th seed Samantha Stosur 7–6(7–5), 6–3 in the third round before losing to Vera Zvonareva 2–6, 4–6.

She then won her first clay title the following week at the Andalucia Tennis Experience, defeating Irina-Camelia Begu in the final 6–3, 6–2.

However, she lost her next 4 matches before bouncing back in the European clay season, reaching the semifinals of the Mutua Madrid Open and Internazionali BNL d'Italia.

Samantha Stosur did not enjoy a successful first half of the year, failing to reach a semifinal of any event until the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in April.

In September, she became the winner of the US Open after beating the heavy favorite Serena Williams in the final in straight sets 6–2, 6–3, to win her maiden Slam title.

Their next titles came in back-to-back-to-back winning in Aegon International over Huber & Raymond 6–3, 6–0, in Wimbledon over Lisicki & Stosur 6–3, 6–1 and in the Mercury Insurance Open over Kopz-Jones & Spears 6–0, 6–2.

They also reached three other finals in the Medibank International Sydney losing to Benešová & Záhlavová-Strýcová, in Dubai Tennis Championships falling to Huber & Martínez Sánchez and in the Mutua Madrid Open to Azarenka & Kirilenko.

King also reached a final with a different partner Anna-Lena Grönefeld at the Monterrey Open losing to Czechs Benešová & Záhlavová-Strýcová.

She has a positive record against Kvitová, leading the Wimbledon champion 3–1, with their last meeting coming in the third round of the 2010 China Open, with Wozniacki winning 6–3, 6–2 and all their matches were won in straight sets.

[12] The action in this year's Tour Championships began with the Red Group with Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitová and 2008 finalist Vera Zvonareva.

Having lost to Zvonareva in straight sets just a few weeks ago in Tokyo, Kvitová had her work cut out for her, but this time it was different - Kvitová hadn't lost an indoor match all year and her huge serve, powerful groundstrokes and strong net play were working like a charm as she raced out to a 6–2, 4–1 lead.

Stosur, the No.7 seed at the year-end finale, turned the tables on one of the most lopsided head-to-heads in the upper echelon of the women's game, coming out like a house on fire then surviving some tense moments to close out a No.2-ranked, No.2-seeded Sharapova in straight sets 6–1, 7–5.

With her intense and relentless barrage of deep, penetrating groundstrokes, the No.4-seeded Azarenka never really let the No.7-seeded Stosur into the match, losing just five points in seven service games and breaking four times in building a 6–2, 5–2 lead.

Zvonareva, the No.6 seed, was the clear aggressor in the match, going for her big groundstrokes – including some particularly impressive backhands – to take the first set in just 35 minutes.

Wozniacki broke in the last game of the second set to push the match to a third but Zvonareva came alive again, racing out to a double-break 4–1 lead and barely looking back.

Victoria Azarenka was a relentless wall of power at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships on Thursday, getting revenge for losses at the Australian and French Opens with a commanding 6–2, 6–2 win over Li Na.

Azarenka, who lost to Li in straight sets in the fourth round in Melbourne and in the quarterfinals in Paris - and had actually lost four of the pair's five previous meetings - was sharper in every department against Li this time, controlling most of the rallies with her powerful groundstrokes and sending any of the Chinese trailblazer's own powerful groundstrokes back with added interest.

Having beaten Samantha Stosur by an identical scoreline on Wednesday, Azarenka is now 2–0 in the White Group and the first to qualify for the semifinals.

Zvonareva wouldn't have just qualified for the semifinals with a victory over Radwańska, she would have snapped a three-match losing streak against her, having lost to her at Carlsbad, Toronto and Tokyo in the last few months - all in straight sets, too.

Their sixth meeting at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships on Friday was by far their quickest, as Stosur hit far more winners (15 to 4) and was cleaner on the unforced errors (22 to 32) and basically dominated every department, losing her serve from 30-0 up in the fifth game of the match but otherwise winning every game en route to her easiest victory since Dubai in February.

Although there were a few close moments midway through the second set - she went to six deuces before holding in a marathon game for 4–3 - Kvitová never really looked in trouble again, eventually finishing the match off with a big crosscourt forehand that drew one last backhand error from Radwańska.

In the last round robin match of the week on Friday night, Victoria Azarenka took on alternate Marion Bartoli.

Kvitová was the only player to make it through the round robin undefeated, but she showed some cracks in her last match on Friday, falling behind 5–1 in the first set before rallying to beat Agnieszka Radwańska in straights.

Huber and Raymond, the No.2 seeds, followed with a 4–6, 6–3, [10–7] victory over Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta, the defending champs at the year-ender.

[28] The first match was the Doubles Final between the top two seeds Květa Peschke & Katarina Srebotnik and Liezel Huber & Lisa Raymond.

Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond wrapped up a breakthrough year at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships, capturing their fourth title in their last six events with a 64 64 win on Sunday over Květa Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik, losing three straight games from 64 31 but regrouping and winning three straight games of their own to finish it.
