Singapore hosted the 2014 WTA Finals, where Serena Williams won the singles title. The tournament took place at Singapore Indoor Stadium from October 17 to 26, 2014, bringing together the season’s top eight singles players and doubles teams.
Williams defeated Simona Halep 6–3, 6–0 in the final. The victory made Williams a three-time consecutive Tour Finals singles champion, joining Martina Navratilova and Monica Seles in that select group. She also secured her fourth career year-end world No. 1 ranking during the event.
Singapore was the host city from 2014 through 2018, after the year-end championships moved away from Istanbul. That history explains a common mix-up: Istanbul hosted the WTA Finals immediately before Singapore, in 2013, when Williams also won. Madrid and Doha were former hosts of the season-ending event, but neither staged the 2014 edition.
The 2014 final was also notable as Williams’s last appearance in the Tour Finals. Halep had beaten Williams in the round-robin stage, but Williams reversed that result decisively in the championship match.
