Judy Murray shares what she’s told Andy Murray about Saudi Arabia after his refusal to play there
The WTA Finals are attracting plenty of attention in Saudi Arabia this week, with eight of the world’s best players involved.
Aryna Sabalenka leads the way at the WTA Finals as the number one player, having recently taken over the mantle from Iga Swiatek.
She has already stormed into the semi-finals, having picked up group stage wins over Qinwen Zheng and Jasmine Paolini.
But the WTA Finals have not been short of controversy, with the WTA addressing the poor attendances in Riyadh.
On the second day of action in Saudi Arabia, around only 400 people watched American stars Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula go head-to-head.
