Frequent-flier and hotel points are always lovely, but the truly ultimate reward? Consider the WTA Finals Riyadh presented by PIF, which runs from Nov. 2-9 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
There’s more than $15 million available to the world’s best eight singles players and doubles teams, plus scads of rankings points -- the prize at the bottom of the Cracker Jack box for a season (more than) well done.
This is becoming routine stuff for Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, both appearing in their fourth year-end championship and looking forward to determining the year-end No.1 for the second straight year. But for first-timers Zheng Qinwen and Jasmine Paolini -- both Olympic gold medalists in Paris -- it will be the culmination of years of hard work, developing technique, grinding through training -- and dreaming of this glittering opportunity.
