Hopefully SA doesn't take over grand slams
If they took over the slams, they would probably push for a slam there which means we lose Aus open and probably be replaced with a 1000 tournament. I really dont feel good about the Saudis been involved in tennis

I dont think the WTA/Ladies would allow something like that to go to Saudi Arabia, with their policies on female equity.
For this very reason, the WTA is under massive pressure from former players not to follow the ATP.
Regardless, the 4 slams are here to stay. Never going to change for the foreseeable future.

The four slams are set in concrete ! I am certain that the WTA is returning to China later in the year. Just checked and there are a mere seven tournaments in China including the end of series tournament in Zhuhai. I am surprised that Steve Simon is still the CEO - Will add that not many countries in the world have true female equality, so you are running down a slippery slope.

Sounds like the End of year finals will be held in the Czech Republic.
As long as they allow the Russian and Belarussian players in. (which they will)

Bernie is back in the news again. At first I thought it was a stunt but they did look to be laying into him.
It has been suspected for a long time that Bernie is involved with tennis match fixing to fund his lifestyle. Maybe it has caught up with him.

So, Serena can take her sour grapes and cry herself to sleep thinking about what if. talk about kicking someone when they are down.

Serena's twitter was not needed.
Though she's forgotten the time she hid from testers

"PANIC ROOM" - LOL.. Yeah, totally reasonable.
Gee four years I really hope that Simona can get it reduced or better still clear her name completely. Gosh Serena never changes, she is so bitter. She got trounced by Kerber as well plus Osaka at the USO. The result must be devasting for Simona.

Probably a bit early for the Aussie Summer thread of 2024. Still, interesting that Brisbane got their ATP/WTA tournament back.

Hmmm, few interesting things there:
- Not surprised United Cup has gone to two cities, I wonder how format is changing with finals set to take place Saturday & Sunday, makes me think they are going back to best of 3 matches (semis Saturday, finals Sunday but we'll see)
- Brisbane WTA being a 48 draw, that's going to be fun.
- Canberra now a 125k WTA, nice.
