The Lawn Tennis Association in the UK are considering building on Emma Raducanu's US Open success and popularity by bidding for an international tournament.
UK tennis chiefs are weighing up a £10m bid to gain the hosting rights
for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals later this year. The competition,
the women's tennis equivalent of the Davis Cup, could take place on
British shores with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) keen to capitalise
on the popularity of women's tennis since Emma Raducanu shot to the fore.
With around 100 nations competing from the early stages, it is the largest annual all-female sports competition in the world. As such, The Times
reports that the LTA would see it as "a significant coup" if they can
land the hosting rights for the Finals, which are set to take place in
November. In total, 12 nations would take part, with the hosts guaranteed a place – meaning a potential first appearance in the Finals for the first time in almost 30 years.

They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
