The Kremlin Cup is the most prestigious tennis tournament held in Russia, as well as the final event on the WTA Tier I Series calendar. The tournament is played on indoor carpet courts at Russia’s Olympic Stadium and is one of the concluding events of the tennis season.
The Kremlin Cup was first played in 1990, and was the first professional tennis tournament ever organised in the country. Originally a men’s only tournament, the Kremlin Cup introduced a women’s draw in 1996. The prize money for the women’s event exceeds that for the men’s event, with the 32 contestants competing for $1,34 million in prize money.
