WTA Finals likely to move to Saudi Arabia from next year with Cancun used to announce it reportedly

WTA Finals is set to move to Saudi Arabia from 2024, according to tennis journalist Jon Wertheim.

The last big event of the women’s tennis calendar year will be played in Cancun, Mexico from October 29 to November 05.

As per tennis journalist Wertheim, the tournament is set to move to the Middle Eastern country in 2024 for three years. It is not clear when the announcement will be made.

Last year, the title was won by France’s Caroline Garcia who defeated the current world number one Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4.

So far, five players have already qualified for the mega-event including the likes of Sabalenka, America’s young sensation Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Czech Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova, and Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur.

Gauff booked her place in the competition after winning the US Open — which was her maiden Grand Slam title — after beating Sabalenka in the final with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Vondrousova won the Wimbledon earlier this year after beating Jabeur in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4.

Pegula is the only player out of the five qualified for the event who has not featured in the semifinal of the Grand Slam.
