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 a report from Tennishead.

The decision to wipe the practice session recordings comes after an unspecified incident during the season-ending tournament. Details regarding the nature of the incident or the specific content that prompted the removal have not been disclosed.

The WTA Finals, which features the top eight singles players and doubles teams of the season, was taking place at the time of the incident. Pegula, a multiple Grand Slam quarterfinalist and former world number three, was among the participants.

Neither the WTA nor Pegula's representatives have issued public statements explaining the circumstances behind the footage removal.
