British Man Arrested by Singapore Police Over WTA Finals

SINGAPORE — A British man has been arrested in connection with an illegal betting case at last week's WTA Finals tennis tournament in Singapore.

"A man in his 20s was arrested in relation to the case," a police spokesman told Reuters on Thursday.

The police did not give the nationality of the individual but a spokesman for the British High Commission in Singapore told Reuters they were "aware of the arrest and had provided consular support".

The WTA Finals, the end-of-season championships for the top eight female singles players and doubles pairings, ended on Sunday.

Police said they were called to the Singapore Indoor Stadium venue at 2222 local time on Oct.
