Karolina Pliskova and Elina Svitolina have qualified for the WTA Finals to complete the field for next week's tournament in Singapore.

Pliskova was left sweating after losing 6-1 6-2 to Vera Zvonareva in the second round of the Kremlin Cup but Kiki Bertens needed to make the semi-finals to deny her and she then lost her second-round clash 6-3 4-6 6-3 to Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Bertens may yet make it, with world number one Simona Halep struggling with a back injury. Caroline Wozniacki, Naomi Osaka, Sloane Stephens, Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova are the other qualifiers.
