The elite tournament, which sees the top eight female play- ers battle it out for the Billie Jean King trophy, had previously been held in Singapore. The deal will last from 2019 to 2028. “It gives me great pleasure to announce that the dynamic city of Shenzhen has been chosen to host the WTA Finals, the WTA’s crown jewel season finale, for the next decade,” WTA chief Steve Simon said on the sidelines of the Australian Open. “This will easily be the largest and most significant WTA Finals deal in the 45 years since the WTA was founded and promises to take the event to a spectacular new level.” Simon said in 2016 that the body was searching for a per- manent base for the event, with interest reportedly received from Singapore, Manchester, Prague, St. Petersburg and Shenzhen. The winning bid was submit- ted by Gemdale Corp., one of China’s largest property devel- opers, and will include building a state-of-the-art venue in the city, with seating for 12,000 people. Prize money will double from the current US$7 million. “Shenzhen is an exciting, fast-evolving metropolis and staging the WTA Finals there will ensure the WTA’s global fan base goes from strength to strength,” said WTA president Micky Lawler in explaining the choice. The WTA made a decision in 2008 to grow the brand in China and the wider Asia-Pacific, and with the Shenzhen announce- ment they will now have nine tournaments in the region. Billie Jean King, founder of the WTA, said it was “absolutely incredible” to witness the growth of the season-ending event. “Shenzhen will be a fantastic home for the WTA Finals,” she added. “The record setting US$14 million purse set for Shenzhen reflects the global strength of our sport and how Shenzhen and China have embraced women’s tennis.” Key players welcomed the move.

SHENZHEN will host the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Finals starting in 2019 for a decade with record prize money of US$14 million for the season-ending event — a move welcomed by players, the WTA announced Thursday.
The elite tournament, which sees the top eight female play-ers battle it out for the Billie Jean King trophy, had previously been held in Singapore.
The deal will last from 2019 to 2028.
“It gives me great pleasure to announce that the dynamic city of Shenzhen has been chosen to host the WTA Finals, the WTA’s crown jewel season fi nale, for the next decade,” WTA chief Steve Simon said on the sidelines of the Australian Open.
“This will easily be the largest and most signifi cant WTA Finals
deal in the 45 years since the WTA was founded and promises to take the event to a spectacular new level.”
Simon said in 2016 that the body was searching for a per-manent base for the event, with interest reportedly received from Singapore, Manchester, Prague, St. Petersburg and Shenzhen.
The winning bid was submit-ted by Gemdale Corp., one of China’s largest property devel-opers, and will include building a state-of-the-art venue in the city, with seating for 12,000 people.
Prize money will double from the current US$7 million.
“Shenzhen is an exciting, fast-evolving metropolis and staging the WTA Finals there will ensure the WTA’s global fan base goes from strength to strength,” said WTA president
Micky Lawler in explaining the choice.
The WTA made a decision in 2008 to grow the brand in China and the wider Asia-Pacifi c, and with the Shenzhen announce-ment they will now have nine tournaments in the region.
Billie Jean King, founder of the WTA, said it was “absolutely incredible” to witness the growth of the season-ending event.
“Shenzhen will be a fantastic home for the WTA Finals,” she added. “The record setting US$14 million purse set for Shenzhen refl ects the global strength of our sport and how Shenzhen and China have embraced women’s tennis.”
Key players welcomed the move.
Maria Sharapova said the championship was head-ing to a place “that’s will-
ing to grow the sport.”“If you look at the numbers

World number one Simona Halep said she had chosen to start her season in Shenzhen for several years “and I am thrilled that the city has been selected to stage the WTA Finals.”
“It’s a fascinating and friendly place, with some of the best tennis fans in the world,” she said.
The WTA Finals were fi rst played in 1972 and Shenzhen becomes the 10th different host city.
