Simona Halep and Ana Ivanovic headline a group of eight women competing in this fall's 2013 Qatar Airways Tournament of Champions, a one-week indoor hard-court tournament beginning Tuesday in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The characteristic round-robin format will split the women into two groups of four. The players will face off against each of the other three competitors in their group to determine which top four advance to the semifinals. 

From there it's single-elimination tennis.

Russia's Nadia Petrova won this event a year ago, but won't be defending her title in Sofia. Instead, two-time tournament champion Ana Ivanovic will enter as the favorite. The Serbian superstar won back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011 when the tournament was held in Bali and appears to be the cream of the crop in Group B.

The top threat in Group A is Simona Halep. The up-and-coming Romanian is only 22, but she has won five singles titles in 2013, rising all the way to No. 14 in the WTA world rankings. 

2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur and Elena Vesnina are also contenders to keep an eye on this week. 

With action underway, let's get you up to speed with the latest scores and results from the Bulgarian capital.
