Garbiñe Muguruza is the new tournament director of the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia

The tournament for the eight best women’s singles players and the eight best women’s doubles teams moves to Saudi Arabia for the first time this year. It will be held in Riyadh from November 2 to 9.

Muguruza defeated Serena Williams to win the French Open in 2016, and Venus Williams to win Wimbledon in 2017, making her the only player to beat each sister in a Grand Slam final. Muguruza also reached number 1 in the rankings.

Muguruza last played on tour in January 2023. In April she said she would not return to competition.
