==Tournament== [[File:Kallang Indoor Stadium (8151029247).jpg|thumb|300x300px|[[Singapore Indoor Stadium]] hosted the [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] Finals for the first time in 2014.]] The 2015 WTA Finals took place at the [[Singapore Indoor Stadium]] from 26 October to 1 November 2015, and was the 45th edition of the event. The tournament was run by the [[Women's Tennis Association]] (WTA) as part of the [[2015 WTA Tour]]. Singapore is now the ninth city to host the [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] Finals since its inauguration in 1972 and will host the event for at least five years. The event also held two exhibition tournaments, WTA Rising Stars Invitational and the [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] Legends Classic.

===Qualifying=== In singles, point totals are calculated by combining point totals from sixteen tournaments. Of these sixteen tournaments, a player's results from the four [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] events, the four [[WTA Premier tournaments#Premier Mandatory|Premier Mandatory]] tournaments, and the best results from two [[WTA Premier tournaments#Premier 5|Premier 5]] tournaments must be included. In doubles, point totals are calculated by any combination of eleven tournaments throughout the year. Unlike in singles, this combination does not need to include results from the Grand Slams or Premier-level tournaments.

===Format=== The singles and doubles event features eight players in a round robin event, split into two groups of four. Over the first four days of competition, each player meets the other three players in her group, with the top two in each group advancing to the semifinals. The first-placed player in one group meets the second-placed player in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match.

====Round robin tie-breaking methods==== The final standings of each group were determined by the first of the following methods that applied: # Greatest number of wins. # Greatest number of matches played. # Head-to-head results if only two players are tied, or if three players are tied then: ::a. If three players each have the same number of wins, a player having played less than all three matches is automatically eliminated and the player advancing to the single elimination competition is the winner of the match-up of the two remaining tied players. ::b. Highest percentage of sets won. ::c. Highest percentage of games won.

===Exhibition=== '''Rising Stars''' *{{flagicon|JPN}} [[Naomi Osaka]] defeated {{flagicon|FRA}} [[Caroline Garcia]], 3–5, 5–4(8–6), 4–1.

'''Legends''' {{Main|2015 WTA Finals – Legends Classic}} *Winner: {{flagicon|USA}} [[Martina Navratilova]] *Runner-up: {{flagicon|ESP}} [[Arantxa Sánchez Vicario]]
