The WTA championships begin this Tuesday in Doha, Qatar.  The participants will be:

Vera Zvonareva (RUS) - 0-1 last year as alternate
Kim Clijsters (BEL)
Francesca Schiavone (ITA)
Samantha Stosur (AUS)
Jelena Jankovic (SRB) - SF last year

Last year's finalists, Serena and Venus are out injured but did qualify, while Safina and Kuznetsova from last year's eight failed to qualify this year.  That leaves four open spots, filled by Zvonareva, Schiavone, Stosur, and Clijsters.  The French Open finalists (Schiavone and Stosur) are making their championships debut.
