Saudi Arabia is continuing its bid to dominate the sporting landscape after holding positive talks with the ATP Tour.
Its chairman, Andrea Gaudenzi, had been in dialogue with the country's Public Investment Fund (PIF). The Kingdom has already flexed its financial muscles and is having a huge influence in football and golf with tennis potentially being the next sport on their list.
The ATP's End of Season finals, which features the top eight players in the world, could be set for a move to Jeddah when its current Milan contract expires, but leading lights in Saudi Arabia seemingly want even more influence.
