WTA raised the purse for 1st round GS losers and so on, there is the big push for pay equality too. I wonder how is that possible with the loss of Chinese money? The long-term plans could blow right up now. The only reasonable replacement is Middle East. It would be hilarious if WTA had to stage events in Saudi Arabia to make up for the Chinese losses Professional Sport is fucked full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of Karl Schranz and Ingemar Stenmark being banned because they were "professionals" are long gone. Sport is a monster money maker. Even USA finally legalised sports gambling after decades of ethical opposition. You cannot stop the power of money in this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opruh 125 Posted December 3, 2021 #323 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Next move for Wta is to have ten tournaments in the middle east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangehair43 172 Posted December 5, 2021 #325 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The WTA could lose 1.4 billion dollars in a single year. That’s quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,593 Posted December 6, 2021 #326 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Bianca Andreescu has withdrawn from Australian Open 2022. Well, a lot of fancy wording about "inspiring people off court" (like really?) but maybe she isn't vaccinated and that's the only reason behind her decision?
