Philadelphia hosts WTA 125 women’s tennis tournament

Philadelphia is currently hosting a WTA 125 women’s professional tennis tournament, marking the city's first WTA event since 2005. The Philadelphia Sisters, a group formed in 2019 to promote women’s sports in the area, have played a pivotal role in bringing this event to the city. This week’s tournament adds to recent successes, including the inaugural championship game of the Women’s Lacrosse League held earlier this month. The city is also set to welcome a new WNBA franchise in 2030, as part of efforts to grow women’s sports in Philadelphia.
