Paying people to NOT talk. If money it talking the WTA into returning to China, it's simultaneously muzzling them about Peng Shuai. It's just a peculiar irony - money talks, but sometimes the result is silence.

Good that the prize money has increased. I wonder if there are other perks, like hospitality and traveling (some sort of arrangement for players to fly at a discount. It is a major expense).

Whoever is running social media for the ATP Challenger Tour has raised its profile big time. Every week you get the winners, the trophy shots, all of it.

Now if only the other tour would up the profile of its "challenger level" events...

Yeah I know if wishes were horses...

Why have they gotten rid of any and all MEANINGFUL and historic events, and now they are trying to get them back? Never mind the Hopman Cup did not give points; it had a great history behind it, and it honored a great coach.
And, The United Cup? Sounds like the airline is sponsoring it.

I wonder how they're going to screw with the rules and the scoring system for this 'United Cup' gimmick...
