Tennis Triumph: KSA Secures WTA Finals For Next 3 Years
Saudi Arabia is on a roll when it comes to sports. First, it was boxing, then Formula 1, and then football, with major stars like Cristiano Ronaldo arriving in the Kingdom. Now, they’re directing their lens at the world of tennis. The latest is that they’re hosting the WTA Finals for the next three years.
This is a major step in elite women’s sports and will propel the Kingdom and the Arab world forward. Just as Tunisian star player Ons Jabeur has become the first Arab woman to reach a grand slam final, the Kingdom is becoming the first in the region to propel women’s tennis.
By having the WTA Finals take over the Kingdom for the next three years, they’ll also add the season-ending tournament known as the “crown jewel” on the women’s tour to its never-ending portfolio of major events and sporting exhibitions.
This is in line with the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision, which aims to make it the ultimate staging ground for the biggest championships in all games.
The WTA Finals this year will take place from November 2 to 9 in Riyadh, and the winner is planned to be awarded 15.25 million dollars.
