scheduled tribe. Petersburg, Fla. - The WTA Tour has agreed a multi-year, multi-million-dollar title sponsorship deal with Hologic, a medical technology company.
The deal, announced Thursday, gives the women's professional tennis tour its first title sponsor since a deal with Sony Ericsson that ended in 2010.
The WTA declined to say how long his contract with Hologic lasts or how much it is worth, but called it the "largest global sponsorship" in the tour's history.
The agreement comes nearly three months after the WTA suspended all of its tournaments in China because of concerns about the well-being of Grand Slam doubles champion Peng Shuai, who accused a former government official there of sexual harassment.
