This is how sad the stands look during a WTA Finals match in Riyadh
For some reason, this week you won't see many aerial shots of the center court at the WTA Finals 2024 in Riyadh. For several years now, the Masters tournament has been surrounded by uncertainty about where it will be held, sometimes even doubting if it will happen, until Saudi Arabia stepped in to host the event from 2024 to 2026, three seasons. That's great, investment and confidence in women's tennis, a combination that only lacks the support of the audience. That's how empty the stands looked this Monday afternoon during the matches of the Purple Group. An image that continues to hurt despite being repeated in recent schedules.
Second day of the WTA Finals drew an embarrassingly tiny crowd of around 400 spectators, reopening the debate about the decision to bring elite tennis to Riyadh
