Paris -Australia's US Open champion Samantha Stosur and Russia's Vera Zvonareva on Sunday became the sixth and seventh players to qualify for the season-ending WTA Championships in Istanbul from October 25-30.

They join world number one Caroline Wozniacki, three-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova, Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, world number four Victoria Azarenka and China's Roland Garros champion Li Na in the eight-player field.

Germany’s Andrea Petkovic, Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska and France’s Marion Bartoli are contesting the remaining spot during the final two weeks of the regular season.
