WTA releases 2025 calendar with changes to grass and US summer hardcourt season
26 countries, including China and Saudi Arabia, will host WTA Tour events in 2025
The WTA Tour has released its calendar for the 2025 season, with some of the key changes involving the grass court tune-up events leading up to Wimbledon and the expanded schedules for WTA 1000 Series events in Canada and Cincinnati.
The 2025 season will see over 50 tournaments in 26 countries, including China and Saudi Arabia, which will host the season-ending WTA Finals in Riyadh.
Some of the key changes in the calendar are:
- The WTA 500 event in Eastbourne, UK will move to The Queen’s Club, London and take place the week in the first week of the grass season (June 9)
- The WTA 250 event in Nottingham, UK, moves one week down to the second week of the grass season and will be held the week of June 16
- Eastbourne will host a WTA 250 in the third week of the grass season (June 23), the same time as an ATP 250 event
- As a result of these changes, Birmingham will not host a WTA level event in 2025
- The Prague tournament in July will switch from clay to hardcourt
- WTA 1000 events in Canada and Cincinnati will expand to become 12-day events and will be played over a three-week period which means that the final in Canada would be held in the middle of the second week of that three-week span
