Two months after retiring from tennis, Garbine Muguruza steps into a groundbreaking role as the first former player to become the tournament director of the WTA Finals. The two-time Grand Slam champion will collaborate with the WTA, the Saudi Tennis Federation, and the Ministry of Sport to oversee the strategic planning and execution of the event over the next three years, as it takes place in Riyadh from 2024 to 2026.
The 30-year-old Muguruza, who won the 2021 WTA Finals in Guadalajara, will play a key role in expanding women’s tennis across the Middle East and beyond.
