WTA to provide ranking protection for players pursuing fertility treatments
In a move described as 'groundbreaking,' the WTA announced Wednesday it will provide rankings protection to players who take a break from the tour to undergo fertility procedures such as egg or embryo freezing.
'Having the protected ranking there, so that players don't feel forced to come back early and risk their health again,' 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens said to the BBC Wednesday, 'is the best thing possible.'
