The 205 WTA Finals winner odds for this year’s massive tournament in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, are forecasting a showdown between the top two players on the WTA Tour. But will Aryna Sabalenka or Iga Swiatek make it, or is there an upset looming?
I’ll take a look at the odds for this event, and then give you my best 2025 WTA Finals predictions for what is considered the best tournament outside the Grand Slams!
2025 WTA Finals Odds
| PLAYER | ODDS |
|---|---|
| Aryna Sabalenka | +225 |
| Iga Świątek | +250 |
| Coco Gauff | +450 |
| Amanda Anisimova | +550 |
| Elena Rybakina | +700 |
| Jessica Pegula | +1600 |
| Jasmine Paolini | +2500 |
| Madison Keys | +2800 |
It’s a predictable trio at the top of the board, according to the best tennis betting sites. Aryna Sabalenka (+225), Iga Swiatek (+250), and Coco Gauff (+450) lead the way. Sabalenka has an implied probability of 30.8% to win the event, followed by Swiatek at 28.6%, and Gauff at 18.2%.
Amanda Anisimova (+550) and Elena Rybakina (+700) are in the next tier, while Jessica Pegula (+1600), Jasmina Paolini (+2500), and Madison Keys (+2800) bring up the rear. Sabalenka and Swiatek are well ahead in the WTA rankings, while Gauff has a sizeable lead over Anisimova. Will the cream rise to the top in Riyadh for this tournament?
It should be noted that six of the eight players in the 2025 field were here in 2024. The only changes are Anisimova and Keys, replacing Zheng Qinwen and Barbora Krejčíková. The top three players are in the same order as last year.

WTA Finals Format and Key Info
Before I dig into the 2025 WTA Finals odds, I’ll explain the format of this tournament. There are just eight players, the best of the best throughout the season. They’re put into two groups of four, and then will play a round-robin format where each player plays each other.
The top two players from each group move on to the semifinals, with the first-placed player from Group A, playing the second-place player from Group B, and vice versa. Then, it’s down to the final, where two players square off.
The tournament kicks off on November 1, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and runs to November 8.
2025 WTA Finals Favorites
I’ll start with the clear top three in the 2025 WTA Finals odds!
Aryna Sabalenka (+225)
Sabalenka won four titles in 2025, including the US Open. She also won two WTA 1000 events and triumphed in Brisbane. She’ll enter the 2025 WTA Finals as the top seed.

When a tournament is important, you expect the Belarusian star is going to make it to the quarterfinals, at least, and likely further. Sabalenka went to the semifinals in all four Grand Slams, and also lost in the finals of the Australian and French Opens.
Sabalenka has yet to win the WTA Finals, as she lost in the 2022 final to Carolina Garcia, and has lost in the last two semifinals. At 27 years old, Sabalenka is in her prime, and a win in this tournament would cement her place as the best current player on the Tour.
Sabalenka is well deserving of being the 2025 WTA Finals betting favorite, given her and the motivation entering the tournament.
Iga Świątek (+250)
Świątek won three times on Tour, including at Wimbledon, and it was a massive upset that she lost to Sabalenka in the French Open semifinals. The Polish star has won four of the last six tournaments at Roland Garros, and will likely be the French Open odds favorite again in 2026.

Świątek also won in Cincinnati and Korea, and made it to the semifinals in three of four Grand Slams. She has worked hard to prove she isn’t just a clay-court specialist; Świątek can win on any surface now. Still, I’m not convinced that she should be the clear second favorite in the odds.
Coco Gauff (+450)
Gauff won three times this year, including the French Open. The American also won in Wuhan and was a part of the US team that won the United Cup.
title number 11 & 3rd wta 1000 trophy!!!!
and it tastes so sweet 🥰

The 21-year-old is also the defending champion in this event, having defeated Zheng Qinwen in three sets in 2024. It has been an up-and-down year for Gauff, who went out in the round of 16 at the U.S. Open, the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, and, shockingly, in the first round at Wimbledon.
Gauff has had issues with her serve throughout the year, but when it’s on, she’s tough to beat. She provides some WTA Finals betting value at +450!
Contenders in the 2025 WTA Finals Odds
Next, I have a couple of WTA Finals betting contenders who could challenge the top three.
Amanda Anisimova (+550)
Anisimova has a pair of wins in 2025, as she won in China and Qatar. The American also went to the finals in two Grand Slams, losing to Świątek at Wimbledon, and to Sabalenka at the U.S. Open.

The 24-year-old is playing the best tennis of her career, and has proven she can hang with the top players. After getting blown out at Wimbledon by Świątek, Anisimova has looked much tougher. At +550, you’re getting a great WTA Finals betting price on the American. But can Anisimova overcome the odds in Saudi Arabia?
Elena Rybakina (+700)
Rybakina was the last player to qualify for the WTA Finals, as she did on October 23. She won in Strasbourg and Ningbo this season, but she is the only player in the field to not make it past the Round of 16 in any of the Grand Slams.

The Russian-born Kazakhstani player is taking some heat in the media as she withdrew from a tournament in Tokyo as soon as she qualified for the WTA Finals. Given the issues the WTA is having with the schedule, it’s easy to see why she would do that.
Still, the 26-year-old isn’t afraid of the top players, and has a great baseline game. Her 2025 WTA Finals odds are quite decent, but winning is probably a step too far for her.
A 2025 WTA Finals Betting Sleeper
Let’s take a look at the sleeper that could upset the favorites. I don’t think Madison Keys (+2800) can get through the bracket. I would consider Jasmine Paolini (+2500), but she is also playing in the doubles competition.
No player has won both singles and doubles in the same year at the WTA Finals since Martina Hingis in 2000, so that leaves us with one viable longshot here.
Jessica Pegula (+1600)
Pegula has three wins in 2025, winning in Charleston, Homburg, and Texas. She reached the semifinals at the U.S. Open before losing to Sabalenka in three close sets.

She recently lost to Gauff in the final in Wuhan, but she did beat Sabalenka in the semifinal. She also beat Świątek in the Homburg final. Pegula can beat the top players, but can she remain consistent enough to shock the field? I’m not quite sure, but it’s worth a small wager at these odds.
2025 WTA Finals Betting Prediction
I believe the winner will come from one of the favorites, but my WTA Finals betting pick is Coco Gauff at +450!
At her ceiling, she can compete with and beat Sabalenka and Świątek, and she loves the big moment. Furthermore, at +450, her 2025 WTA Finals odds offer excellent value, and the 21-year-old American has shown she can rise to the occasion at this tournament.
Let’s take Coco Gauff in our WTA Finals betting predictions at +450!
