The WTA carefully considered a variety of competitive bids in close conjunction with the WTA Players’ Council. Aside from Cancun, four other cities vied for the right to host the WTA Finals. But the bid from the organizers in Cancun was ultimately chosen above other contenders such as Riyadh, Ostrava, Cluj Napoca, and Washington DC.
Who is organizing the WTA Finals 2023?
Organized by the Women’s Tennis Association, the WTA Finals is the season-ending competition that features the top eight singles and doubles players in the WTA rankings chart. Qualification is based on points earned during the calendar year rather than typical rankings done over a 12-month period.
The eight singles players are divided into two groups and play a round-robin format. The top two players in each group go to the semi-finals, and the singles champion receives the Billie Jean King Trophy at the championship match of the WTA Finals.
