The draw is out for the 2021 Akron WTA Finals Guadalajara, where the 50th staging of the tour's prestigious season-ending championships is set to begin Wednesday, Nov. 10. The WTA Finals pit the top eight singles players and doubles teams on the Porsche Race to the WTA Finals against each other in a round-robin format for a total prize pool of $5 million dollars.

The draw was conducted at a private gala Monday night at the Palacio Municipal de Zapopan with all players and teams in attendance as well as dignitaries and VIPs. The group names - Chichén Itzá, Teotihuacán, Tenochtitlán and El Tajín - are a tribute to the pre-Colombian era of Mexican history, with all four groups being named after ancient cities in Mexico.
