The starting date is not far away for the WTA Finals. Although this latest picture is proof that a lot of work is still left for the court and stadium to be ready. It seems like the association has quite a lot of faith in their contractors. Because finishing a stadium with a full court and seats and all the other amenities seems a bit far-fetched. Some fans have even lost hope to see a finished stadium.
