"I heard literally two minutes ago, so I really don't know why now and everything, said Iga Swiatek after winning her first-round match 6-1, 6-2 against Daria Snigur at the Madrid Open. We always had a good relationship. I felt like she listened to what we had to say and was really open-minded."
"I just [heard] that before going to the match, Sabalenka said. I feel like she did a great job. I just want the best for the WTA tour and hopefully we are for a better outcome."
"I am writing to share that Portia has informed us of her decision to step down from her role as CEO, effective 20 April, ahead of her contract renewal, she wrote. We are working through a transition plan for the leadership of the WTA Tour and will share an update on this by mid-May."
Portia Archer resigned as WTA CEO after two years, surprising players on the tour. Iga Swiatek expressed shock, noting Archer's open-mindedness. Archer's tenure included the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia, with a deal expiring this year. Valerie Camillo informed staff of Archer's decision, effective April 20, ahead of contract renewal. Aryna Sabalenka praised Archer's contributions, while Belinda Bencic showed less enthusiasm. The WTA is now planning a leadership transition and searching for a new location for the Finals in 2027.
