Serena and Venus Williams, Dinara Safina and the rest of the WTA’s top eight gathered at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar on Sunday to take part in the Sony Ericsson Year End Championships draw ceremony. Here’s the lowdown on the draw via tennis.com:

WHITE GROUP:

• Dinara Safina
• Caroline Wozniacki
• Victoria Azarenka
• Jelena Jankovic

MAROON GROUP:

• Serena Williams
• Svetlana Kuznetsova
• Elena Dementieva
• Venus Williams

The top two finishers in each round robin group advance to the semifinals, where each first-placed player will face the second-placed player from the other group. (Meaning that Venus and Serena could meet in the final, even though they’re in the same group.)

Of course, no WTA event would be complete without the ballgown competition.
