WTA Finals, a Nomadic Tournament, Lands in Mexico

After two decades of wandering the globe, the WTA Finals had finally found a home, or so it seemed in 2019.

That was the first year the finals were held, to great fanfare, in Shenzhen, China, under a deal that would keep the tournament there for 10 years.

The event has not been back since, and on Wednesday it will instead be played in Guadalajara, Mexico, after an agreement in September.

The tournament, which has been played under different names over the years, has long been a bit nomadic. It was held at Madison Square Garden from 1979 to 2000 and has moved five times from 2001 to 2013.
