"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.
