Saudi Arabia will host the season-ending WTA Finals in Riyadh from 2024 until 2026, the women’s tennis body said.
Riyadh will host the season finale, which features the top eight singles players and doubles teams, from November 2 to November 9 and replaces last year’s hosts Cancun, Mexico.
The WTA said its agreement with the Kingdom’s Tennis Federation will offer record prize money of $15.25m this year with further increases in 2025 and 2026.
