The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA)
launched today the "Road To Singapore", a season- long campaign which
will see the WTA stars through their journey from the beginning of the year to
its culmination during the season-ending WTA Championships in Singapore. For

"I am starting my 2014 season today, but
I’ve already made qualifying for the WTA Championships one of my biggest
goals,” said Serena Williams, WTA World No.1 and four- time WTA Championships

Singapore for the first time, as it's an amazing city that I'd like to visit.

year."
