The Women's Tennis Association has deleted all video footage from practice sessions at the WTA Finals following an incident involving American player Jessica Pegula, according to reports on Thursday.
The decision to wipe the practice session recordings comes after an unspecified incident involving Pegula during the tournament's preparation period. The WTA has not released details about the nature of the incident or the specific content that prompted the footage removal.
Pegula, a top-ranked American competitor, was participating in the season-ending championships when the incident occurred. The organization's move to erase all practice session footage represents an unusual step for the tour.
Further details regarding the incident and the WTA's rationale for the footage removal have not been disclosed.
