The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) announced that tickets to the 2013 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships-Istanbul are now available for purchase through Biletix, online at www.biletix.com.

For the third consecutive year, the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul will host the prestigious year-end competition from October 22-27. The TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships showcases the Top 8 singles players and Top 4 doubles teams competing for a record-setting $6 million in prize money.

Competition promises to be as fierce as ever, with Maria Sharapova leading the singles race, followed by Victoria Azarenka and Serena Williams. The Italian team of Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci lead the doubles race, with Nadia Petrova and Katarina Srebotnik in second place.

Following two successful, record-breaking editions, Istanbul will host the Championships for the third and final year in 2013. In 2012, the event attracted more than 73,000 fans during six days of competition, the highest attendance at the year-end event since 2000.

The Championships broadcast coverage reached 167 countries, and the overall hours produced increased 25-percent, including live matches, match replays, and highlights. Nearly 42 million fans followed the on-court and behind-the-scenes action via WTA social media and digital platforms, leading to a record-setting week for the official WTA website (www.wtatennis.com) with approximately 4.8 million page impressions and nearly 500,000 unique visitors.
