WTA to mandate genetic sex tests
The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) announced it will require all players to undergo genetic sex testing, using a cheek swab or saliva sample to detect the SRY gene, as part of its new eligibility policy starting in 2026. Players will be tested once; a positive result will lead to further medical evaluation before competing. The policy aims to ensure fair competition and aligns with similar regulations introduced by World Athletics and World Boxing.
