Iga Swiatek referenced the poor crowd turnout at the WTA Finals following her match with Caroline Garcia where she booked a spot in the semi-finals.
WTA tennis and low crowd turnout is nothing new with multiple events battling a lack of interest by the general public. It largely depends on the geography but generally across the board, ATP tennis draws far larger crowds than WTA tennis.
It's been particularly glaring in Forth Worth with the arena pretty much empty during the majority of the matches failing to fill up 50 % once in the first four days. It's hard to ignore and Swiatek expressed her hope that things will change in the next few days:
“Hopefully, we’re gonna see a full house soon. But yeah, we’ll see. I’m really looking forward to it because I like taking energy from the crowd.”
