MUMBAI -- British number one Johanna Konta feels a merger of the women's governing WTA tennis body with the men's ATP makes sense but stressed it must only be on equal terms.

MUMBAI -- British number one Johanna Konta feels a merger of the women's governing WTA tennis body with the men's ATP makes sense but stressed it must only be on equal terms.

Konta, who sits on the WTA player council, has joined some of her fellow women professionals in calling for an equal position in any combined body in the future. "It would have to be a merger of equals because that's what we are. I wouldn't see how, right now in today's age, it would be allowed to be called anything else."

Currently viewers need different pay-TV platforms to watch tennis matches and a merger of the Tours could simplify television contracts and sponsorship deals.
