'So it is very very important that there is a mixture between the men and the women in the prime time spots.

'Unless you are showing the product in your prime time windows you are telling the consumer what the value is. At the end of the day, you are what you say you are. 'It's something that's very, very critical. 'We've spoken to all of the Grand Slams, and all of our combined events, with respect to scheduling,' said Simon. He is hoping this year's French Open night sessions, for example, will not feature nine men's matches and one women's as they did last year. It is hoped this investment will help create an even higher profile for the women's game and drive up prize money, which significantly lags behind the men's ATP Tour.īut to achieve that, Simon argues, scheduling needs to be fairer. But obviously we have a board that are evaluating that right now and it will be a board decision.' WTA seeking more 'prime time' matchesĮarlier this month the WTA Tour announced a strategic partnership with CVC Capital Partners, which will see the private equity firm invest $150m (£125m) into women's tennis. 'We've said we would make a decision at the end of the first quarter, or the early second quarter of this year. 'We are still evaluating it,' said Simon. Simon has said repeatedly the WTA will pull out of China permanently unless the authorities carry out a transparent investigation into Peng Shuai's allegations of sexual assault against a former Chinese vice-premier. We think that the neutral approach is appropriate.' Decision on Chinese tournaments pendingĪ decision on whether there will be any WTA tournaments in China this year will be made in the next few weeks. 'We've been consistent with that and we are going to stay consistent with that. And this is irrespective to decisions that may have been made by local governments. 'We've always had the position - and it's been a fundamental position of the tour - that every player that is eligible should be allowed to play.

I think there is a strong understanding on that. 'We continue to speak with and make sure they understand about the sensitivities here and that they are competing as neutral athletes. 'I don't think that any of this is lessening what's going on over there. 'Our sympathies are at the highest level with everybody in Ukraine and I don't think any of us can properly understand what they are going through,' he said. The All England Club and the LTA are currently finalising plans that will allow these players to compete on the grass this summer.Īnd the International Olympic Committee has signalled its desire to help Russian athletes compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics.īut Simon denies tennis' resistance to Russia's war is weakening.

Players from Russia and Belarus have been classified as neutral athletes since the start of the war, but, as Aryna Sabalenka said after winning the Australian Open in January: 'I think everyone still knows that I'm a Belarusian player.' 'We spoke with Anastasia directly and also have given her a warning so she knows that this was not appropriate and I don't think we will see any further instances of this going forward.' You can't support it any way - nor what the Russian government is doing. 'What's going on in Ukraine is reprehensible. 'We have done a lot for our athletes, I know there's a variety of opinions on that out there. 'We continue to do as much as we have the ability to do,' Simon told BBC Sport. She argued stricter guidelines and better leadership may have prevented Russia's Anastasia Potapova wearing a Spartak Moscow shirt at Indian Wells earlier this week.
