We have gone down this path before, even if the WTA joined the ATP would that necessary bring them equal pay? I doubt it, when this was first brought up, remember there were a lot of male players that think women do not deserve to have equal pay,first and foremost they dont play the best of 5 in Grand Slams, just recently the new tournament director of Roland Garos, a women, Mauresmo, cited womens tennis was on the boring side and a reason they were not given more night matches, which was prime time viewing on the TV especially in France.Bums on seats, means money on the tennis tour, a fact more tennis fans will pay to watch a mens match over a womens match, the likes of Serena Williams and Venus Williams, who could bring a crowd in, is long gone.,these two champion players are in the twilight of their careers, probably this year we will see them both retire.WTA needs say more stability and consistency in their Top players, at present I can count on one of my hands the players that can provide that, it is good to have good depth, which I feel the WTA does have at present.Fans like to see a good rivalry between players, the ATP has it, presently the WTA does not.
