Like other sports, women’s tennis is looking into the possibility of getting into business with Saudi Arabia. And while holding a tournament there is not imminent, WTA Chairman and CEO Steve Simon said Friday that he visited that country with some players in February as part of the evaluation process.
“It’s a very difficult and very challenging topic that's being, obviously, measured by many, many different groups right now,” Smith said at an event in London to mark the 50th anniversary of the meeting that led to the founding of the WTA.
