The WTA announced a provisional calendar for the women’s tour on Tuesday with events lined up until the Wimbledon championships in June-July.
The sport’s governing body had previously announced the first seven weeks of the tour, starting with the season-opening WTA 500 event in Abu Dhabi from Thursday.
Apart from the three Grand Slams — Australian Open (starting Feb. 8), French Open (May 23) and Wimbledon (June 28) — the first half of the year will have four WTA 1000 events in Dubai and Miami (both in March), Madrid (April) and Rome (May). (CBC)
