Either Simon's first language isn't English or this was done using AI. I mean there are no proofreaders in the WTA? And I'm sorry "Hi..." is how an official document/email is sent these days?

Then again maybe the names of the players were edited out.

Also what were the complications that made the WTA have to shoulder the entire cost of building this "stadium" ?

Might as well have started it with "Yoohoo!"

Atlanta? That's a blow. That is a tournament with a lot of history and it is not as if Atlanta and all of Georgia are not tennis hotbeds.
It's a tough tour.

I was surprised about Atlanta.

I was surprised about Atlanta.

They had to make space for the ten day events in Canada, and Cincinnati.

Atlanta is Indy’s old tournament and it moved there in the 2010. Indy’s tournament had a lot of history - used to be the U.S. Clay Court Championships.

Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin is in talks to buy a minority stake in @F1Miami along with one in the Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, per @Business.

I have read different reporting on how large a stake. If large enough we can hope he doesn't have any aversion to tennis.

Sky Sports announcing 5-year partnership with WTA and ATP, replacing Amazon Prime in the UK.

Ons looks so sad.
Coco got star billing.
No Sabalenka, Meddy, Rublev. No Zverev.
Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage made it, not Heather Watson.
Nike gets so much play here. Cant see Coco's New Balance at all. i know that's not Sky's job, but sucks for New Balance. They hit the jackpot with Coco.

NB will sell Coco to Nike eventually. Either that or lose her when her contract is over.
