MUMBAI - Australian Darren Cahill, the coach of two-times Grand Slam winner Simona Halep, has backed the idea of merging the men’s and women’s tours, saying it would make tennis simpler for both players and fans.
Cahill, who has also previously worked with Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt, said uniformity in rules and rankings will help all stakeholders. Besides the ATP and the WTA Tours, the sport is also controlled by the International Tennis Federation and the boards of the four Grand Slam tournaments. “Social media becomes much easier as well, if the tours are merged. Instead of competing against each other for a social media space, that becomes all one.”
I like; excellent way for tennis to evolve and stay relevant in the game!
How about syndication first to give players a better take of the revenue in tournaments. Except for top players, may are struggling
