  + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Aug 23 (Reuters) - The ATP will guarantee its players a minimum wage for the first time as part of a three-year trial to be launched in 2024, the governing body of men's tennis said. The "Baseline" programme will guarantee minimum income for the top 250-ranked singles players each season, with the ATP covering any shortfall should their earnings fall below the threshold. The ATP said it expected to provide financial support to between 30-45 players who meet the criteria. The ATP said it will also commit to supporting players who compete in fewer than nine ATP Tour and Challenger Tour events in a season due to injury. The thresholds for the injury protection initiative are set at $200,000 (top 100), $100,000 (101-175) and $50,000 (176-250) for 2024, it added.

Saudi Arabia has pumped huge amounts of money into soccer, Formula One and boxing in recent years while the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit recently ended its two-year dispute with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour by announcing a merger. I hope in Saudi they'll not just invest with the ATP, I hope with the WTA (too)," Jabeur said after beating Magdalena Frech 6-3 6-3 in her Wimbledon opener. Critics have accused Saudi Arabia of using the PIF to engage in "sportwashing" amid criticism of its human rights record. "I believe in Saudi they're doing great giving women more rights," 2022 Wimbledon runner-up Jabeur added. Men's world number one Carlos Alcaraz said he would have no doubts about competing in Saudi Arabia, while seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe said tennis should not seek Saudi investment.

☆ Murray surprised by lack of female coaches, questions ATP's Saudi plans

LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - Former world number one Andy Murray said he was surprised there were not more female coaches in the sport, having found success by working with Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo in the past. "It's strange, I'm probably surprised there's not more female coaches across both (men's and women's) Tours," Murray told reporters on Saturday ahead of the Wimbledon championships. "I didn't necessarily think at the time that it was for sure going to spark loads of new or more female coaches to come into the game. "Then hopefully that transitions onto the men's and women's tour a bit more," he added. "I don't even know that it would be a handful of female coaches across both tours, which is not enough."

☆ WTA chief says 'big issues' going to Saudi Arabia, but ruling nothing out

But Simon points to the success of WTA tournaments in Qatar and says Saudi Arabia has made 'huge strides'. "In February I went to Saudi Arabia to see it for myself. There are still tons of issues in Saudi Arabia but the advancement for women's rights and where they are coming from is transformational right now. Simon would not speculate on what kind of tournaments could potentially be held in Saudi Arabia, if at all. Simon said had no concerns about the safety of lesbian players competing in Saudi Arabia, but conceded it was a sensitive issue.

☆ Italian Gaudenzi reappointed ATP chairman
  + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
June 26 (Reuters) - ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi has been re-elected for a second term as the head of the organisation from 2024 through 2026, the governing body of men's tennis announced on Monday. Italian Gaudenzi presented an ambitious OneVision strategic plan to revolutionise the sport after taking over in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced sporting bodies into crisis mode. The ATP said under phase one, which came into effect in 2023, it had already generated the largest single-year increase in player compensation in its history -- a $37.5 million year-on-year increase across the ATP Tour and Challenger Tour. "I'm proud of everything we've achieved since 2020, during a particularly challenging time for the world," Gaudenzi said. Under the OneVision plan, players and tournaments were guaranteed a 50-50 share in profits from this year while the tour also saw the introduction of expanded 12-day Masters 1000 tournaments.

☆ Electronic Line Calling to be used across ATP Tour from 2025
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
April 28 (Reuters) - On-court line judges will be a thing of the past with the ATP set to adopt an Electronic Line Calling (ELC) system across all its events from 2025, the men's tennis governing body said on Friday. The Tour has operated with a combination of ELC Live, ELC Review and on-court line judges at its events but ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said removing line judges altogether would give more accuracy in officiating. "Tradition is core to tennis and line judges have played an important part in the game over the years. ELC Live had its first trial at the NextGen Finals in 2017 but has become more popular since the COVID-19 pandemic. French Open organisers were also not in favour of replacing line judges with traces left by the ball on clay helping referees check line judges' decisions.
☆ ATP Tour announces record prize money increase for 2023
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Nov 17 (Reuters) - Men's tennis governing body ATP on Thursday announced a record increase of $37.5 million in prize money to $217.9 million for the 2023 season. The overall prize money pot was for both the ATP and Challenger Tours, with ATP Tour players collectively taking home an additional $18.6 million of on-site prize money from next year, the ATP said in a statement. Earlier this year, the ATP had announced that purses on the Challenger Tour would receive a significant boost. "The record increase also includes a significant uplift on the ATP Challenger Tour, which will see on-site prize money grow by 75%, from $12.1 million to $21.1 million," the ATP said. "These record increases in 2023 are a strong statement for the ATP Tour and highlights our commitment to raising the bar in tennis."
