There has been a debate going on whether there should be a merger of the ATP and the WTA or not. Roger Federer first called for such a merger recently claiming that it was high time that such a thing should take place.
Roger Federer earlier said that it would easy administration for the 2 governing bodies. Federer argued that it was the perfect time to do so as it could make things easy for both the organizers and the players.
Recently, former World No.1 Garbine Muguruza also commented on the matter. The Spanish player believed that such a process would take place only after a long time.
“There had to be a pandemic for this conversation to start, but I think it will take a long time for the union to take place. It is good that the denomination of the category of the tournaments is unified,” said Muguruza.
Garbine Muguruza didn’t say anything clearly on the issue. However, she made it clear that she would feel quite good if such a merger takes place.

Many people including the WTA Chief Steve Simon and Rafael Nadal have backed the proposal of Roger Federer. However, Muguruza added that the matter would soon lose its essence as people would forget about it.
“The process has started. But I think that when the current situation passes, everything will return to normal and the issue will be forgotten a bit,” added the 27-year Spanish player.
Muguruza argued that the process had started but it would only come into action once the coronavirus pandemic gets over. However, she highlighted that it could come into existence one day when everything would turn back to normal.
