WTA International tournaments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The WTA International tournaments was a category for tennis tournaments of the Women's Tennis Association from the 2009 WTA Tour until 2020, which replaced the previous Tier III and Tier IV categories. As of 2021 these events have been reclassified as WTA 250 tournaments. The winner of a WTA 250 tournament adds 250 points to her WTA ranking.

For the 2024 season, there were 23 WTA 250, all knock-out tournaments with a prize money for every event at $267,082.
