"Merge tennis' governing bodies," says Roger Federer

Roger Federer says the men's and women's governing bodies should merge while tennis is in limbo because of the coronavirus. The 20-time Grand Slam champion floated the idea in a series of Twitter posts. "We can come out of this with two weakened bodies or one stronger body," Federer said. "I am not talking about merging competition on the court but merging the two governing bodies that oversee the men's and women's professional tours. It's too confusing for the fans when there are different ranking systems, different logos, different websites, different tournament categories."

Just wondering…..am I the only one thinking that now is the time for men’s and women’s tennis to be united and come together as one?
