Another WTA Tour season has now reached its conclusion, with many players now enjoying a well-deserved rest from action.

WTA Finals champion Elena Rybakina wants an improved schedule as soon as possible after her efforts in 2025, with Iga Swiatek having spoken out about the ‘crazy’ calendar this season too.

It remains to be seen if the WTA players will be listened to, with similar complaints having emerged on the ATP Tour in recent times.

The leading players have complained about prize money too, although it is fair to say that they were still well compensated for their performances in 2025.
