WTT and ITTF have lots of problems thanks to horrible IOC oversight.
But I have to say one has to be impressed that 2 top tier events (if not the highest) going on in two different continents at the same time.
WTT Contender Lagos, Nigeria & WTT Contender Buenos Aires , Argentina.
With Star Contender , Brazil following immediately
The WTT lineup does look continuous on the calendar & impressive

Agree.
Especially given that none of the top players are Chinese LOL
Top players from most other top countries are seen at both these events
Prize money is not bad though still lags tennis & of course golf
Yet it is some progress.
Next steps may be move up each of these events one notch up , feeder to contender, contender to star contender, star contender to Smash etc

It is actually 3 tournamnets if you take into account
2025 WTT Youth Contender Almaty, Kazakhstan Wednesday 23- Saturday July 26

For the good of the sport maybe China should stay away from (or gently urged to) WTT Star Contenders as well.
Only play is WTT Champions & WTT Smash events
