WA Chairman Steve Simon announced his retirement. He supervised the player’s salary increase, heated for the Saudi position

ST. Petersburg, FL.

Simon was the director of the BNP transport to Indian Wales in California for six years before being appointed as the WA chief executive.

Under her watch, the female circuit is committed to increasing $ 400 million in the next 10 years, formed a foundation for improving its social impact among the world communities, and the CVC has entered into partnerships to drive commercial growth and redemption in sports.

Last year, the WTA reorganized his leadership, NBA GG executive Portia Archer took over as CEO and focused on strategic development and administration as chairman.

Simon was the goal of criticism. Last year, Ukrainian tennis players were sued by Lesia Serenko because of the way Russian and Belarusian players operated in the midst of the Ukrainian war.

In 2021, the Hall of Famers Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova asked how she could sign up in a three -year contract with Saudi Arabia to host the WA final, despite the question of LGBBTU+ and women’s rights there.

Simon also led the WTA boycott from 2021-27 because of concern over the well-being of Grand Slam Doubles Champion Peng Shui. Peng excludes public views after being accused of sexual assault by a Chinese government official. He was safe from the people close to WTA Peng and was allowed to host the tournament after assuring that he was living with his family in Beijing.
