Singapore’s winning sporting streak continues with the upcoming BNP Paribas Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Finals Singapore presented by SC Global at the Singapore Sports Hub from October 23 to November 1, 2015.

In a culmination of what has been an exciting season, the top names in women’s tennis will come together for the WTA Finals. Household names like Serena Williams, Martina Hingis, Sania Mirza and many more will face off for court supremacy and a grand prize of US$7 million.

A host of other events will also take place to complement the main action on court. The WTA Legends Classic will see tennis icons like Martina Navratilova and Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario playing for the fans’ delight while the WTA Rising Stars Invitational will give up-and-coming talents from Asia and the rest of the world a chance to play on Centre Court and make their mark on a world-class stage.

Between matches, fans will have multiple opportunities to get closer to the action than ever before. Spectators can visit the outdoor Fan Zone, which will feature interactive tennis-themed games and star-studded player appearances. They can also witness the preparation secrets of their favorite tennis stars at the player practice sessions.

Beyond the activities at the Singapore Sports Hub, fans can expect a star-studded extravaganza at the Singapore Tennis Evening at Marina Bay Sands on October 30. Fans and tennis stars alike will convene to celebrate the annual achievements of the best women’s tennis players, alongside the Southeast Asian debut of UK artiste Paloma Faith who will perform her hits.

With Singapore’s Golden Jubilee in full swing, a slew of exciting flight, hotel, dining and retail deals have been lined up for this festive occasion.
