Quick Quotes from each player reacting to the draw follows:

Bouchard: “We are the top eight players in the world, so every single match, no matter what group you’re in is going to be a really tough one. I’m with the No. 1 player in the world, the greatest player of all time, arguably, so it’s going to be exciting to get some good match ups.”

Halep: “It's not an easy draw. But everyone here is strong and a great player. I'll enjoy my matches and try my best to win”

Ivanovic: “It’s definitely not an easy group with the top eight players here. But it’s exciting that we are here as the top eight and we compete against the best. Every match is going to be tough but I’m excited for the challenge.

Kvitova: “You really can’t choose who you’re going to play in the group. It really doesn’t matter. All of us are great players. We are just happy to be here. Every match is going to be tough, and I’m really looking forward to every match.”

Radwanska: “There's no easy draw here at the WTA Finals. I'm in White Group with Maria, Petra, and Caroline. Maria is really on fire now, so is Petra. And Caroline had a great latter half of season. We'll all have tough matches here. It's 50-50 chance for everyone.”

Sharapova: “At this event, with a round robin draw of the top eight players, there’s no easy draw for anyone. I’m quite happy with my group. I think every match will be a challenge. There are some players that I’ve lost to this year, and some players that I beat, so it’s a little bit of everything. I hope to start on a good note.”

Williams: “I think everyone here is here to win. Everyone here is tough. Every match is going to be tough, so you have to be ready for that. I haven’t played Bouchard yet, and I think she’s been the most consistent in all the Grand Slams this year, so she’ll be a really tough match. I don’t care who I play, to be perfectly honest with you. You can put me against anybody at this point, I’m ready. I really can’t wait for my match. I wish I had a match tomorrow.”

Wozniacki: “Obviously everyone is a great player, we’re the top eight players in the world. I’m just excited to be here. It’s tough competitors I’m against. I’m looking forward to the challenge and getting some great matches.”
