    Editor's note: For the past three weeks, wtatennis.com has run the 2024 Shot of the Year Showdown -- a bracket-style tournament in which you, the fans, can vote for your favorite points and ultimately the best of the season.

    Over 40,000 votes were cast across the group stages and semifinals (scroll down for full results), and the original 112 points have been whittled down to just four. Now it's up to you to decide which one will be crowned Shot of the Year. Voting will remain open until midday on Friday, Dec. 13 (EST).

    Your final four choices are:

    Beatriz Haddad Maia
