The WTA and the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) are launching a program funded by the PIF to provide up to 12 months of paid maternity leave to over 320 WTA players. The program also includes parental leave for players who adopt or whose partner gives birth, and funding for infertility treatments. Eligibility requires participation in a minimum number of WTA tournaments, and players must have requested a protected ranking. The WTA did not disclose the amount invested by the PIF or the specific monthly payments but described them as "generous." Similar programs exist in other sports, such as cycling.
