“Not just comment, there’s more talking behind, ATP and Gaudenzi have already been talking about it,” Stan Wawrinka told Evert. “Trying to find something to put WTA and ATP together.”

“Trying to find a way how we can help each other. I think for fans, tennis players, for women, for men, for both the tours it will be great. They just need to find the right way. I believe as a player it will great for tennis and tennis fans, but I don’t know if it’s that possible or not.”
