Wozniacki, who will make her fifth appearance at the Oct. 22-29 event, reached the final in 2010 when Doha hosted the WTA Finals.

"I'm very excited that I've qualified for the WTA Finals again," the 27-year-old Wozniacki said in a statement.

"I have such great memories of the tournament, especially from 2010, and I can't wait to get to back to Singapore and play my best tennis in front of the amazing fans there."

The top eight singles players at the $7 million prize money event will face off in a round-robin format for the Billie Jean King Trophy.

The eight best doubles teams will battle for the Martina Navratilova Trophy in a knock-out format.

Wozniacki, who has 26 career titles, is due to play local hope Wang Qiang in the first round of the China Open later on Sunday in Beijing.
