Ep 14 - Should The ATP And WTA Merge Into One Governing Body?

It all started with a tweet. Roger Federer was "wondering" whether the ATP and WTA, the two professional tennis associations for men and women, should merge into one body. This sounds like a great idea, fun and progressive. But wait; does it really? Should one stop to think about it a little bit, it turns out the whole history surrounding it, plus major issues regarding gender (i.e. women in sports) are not as easily brushed aside simply by a merger. Consequences could be greater than we think. So we must think about it. And decision makers should follow up after this big revelation.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tennis-and-bagels/messageFavourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.
