ATP & WTA are preparing to vote on a commercial merger between the tours.
80% of the assets would go to ATP.
20% would go to WTA.
One insider said:
“The WTA would be saving on agency fees and head counts, and there’s a feeling
that this could be a win for them.”
Another insider warned:
“If you’re setting up what is known as a ‘ratchet’ deal in the finance world
, where revenues are split in different proportions depending on how big they ar
e, then a lot depends on where you put the threshold. If the WTA allow the proje
cted growth figures to be set at a high level, they’ll struggle to reach that 5
0-50 stage.”
Various stakeholders, including the Masters 1000 events, will need to discuss &
approve the details of the merger.

While an 80-20 split might represent poor optics for a sport with aspirations to
wards equality, it also reflects commercial reality. Filed accounts from 2022 sh
ow that the WTA’s income for that year stood at a mere ￡90 million to the ATP
’s ￡238 million.
