Iga Swiatek arrived in Mexico for the WTA finals well before the start of the tournament amidst the controversy surrounding the unfinished court in Cancun.
After the whispers about Saudi Arabia playing host to the grand finale of the WTA, it was set in stone that the event would take place in Cancun, Mexico. With the end-of-year championship just over the horizon, a picture of the tennis court in Cancun, still in the works, has made rounds on social media.
WTA has reportedly invested $6 million into building a new stadium that will accommodate 4,000 spectators, along with a couple of practice fields within the players’ hotel facility.
The tournament, set to take place from October 29 to November 5, will feature the likes of Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, Ons Jabeur, Marketa Vondrousova, and Karolina Muchova (top eight of singles players). The top eight doubles will also participate in the event.

Iga Swiatek has apparently arrived in Cancun ahead of a week of WTA finals, with no word on the status of the court that appeared to be under construction a few days ago. This elicited hilarious and snarky reactions from tennis fans who turned to X (formerly Twitter) to express themselves.
One of the fans posted a picture of Iga Swiatek donning a contractor helmet, suggesting that the World No. 2 was lending a hand in constructing the rest of the stadium. The tweet read:
“iga arriving early to help the contractors build the rest of the stadium.”
Yet another tennis enthusiast commented that it was the first time in the history of the sport that the player had reached the venue before it actually existed.
