The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) has named Chris Evert as the Legend Ambassador for the WTA Championships in Singapore.
For the first time in the 44-year history of the WTA Championships, a city in Asia-Pacific will host the year-end event from October 17-26 this year and through 2018.
The WTA Championships will be staged within the US$1.3 billion Singapore Sports Hub where the introduction of new events will include exhibitions between WTA’s Rising Stars and Legends, daily fan festivals, a business conference, industry forums, music events and a VIP Experience.
With the addition of Singapore as the Championships host city, 17 WTA events will be staged in the Asia-Pacific market in 2014.
