Player power secures shorter men's season
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The men's calendar is likely to be shortened by at least two more weeks in major changes beginning in two years' time.
The Association of Tennis Professionals is expected to reveal shortly that its 2014 calendar will see the Paris Masters, which is currently played in the first week of November, move to a new date in February. This would enable the year-end World Tour Finals, which are currently held in London, to be brought forward. That would please the top players, who have long complained that the season is too long. Some non-mandatory events may be introduced between the World Tour Finals and the end of the year.
