Bay Area loses annual women’s tennis event as WTA moves to Washington D.C.
and Venus . But perhaps most noteworthy is that a then-14-year-old Venus made her professional debut in Oakland in 1994 and won her first match, something that was highlighted in the recent movie King Richard.
The move to Washington D.C. pairs up the women’s 500-level event with the men’s Associated of Tennis Professionals in the same city and makes that event the only combined 500-level event on tour. “The Bay Area has played host to so many unforgettable moments as one of the Hologic WTA Tour’s longest-running tournaments,” Steve Simon, WTA Chairman & CEO, said in a statement. “The legacy of this much-loved event will live on in its new home, in Washington, D.C., where I am excited to see WTA and ATP stars competing together for the first time at the 500 level, creating new memories for many more years to come.
The event was played on San Jose State’s campus for the last five years . Before that, it was held in the San Francisco Civic Auditorium , the Oakland Coliseum Arena , the Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland and at Stanford University’s Taube Tennis Center .
