Bring more women into the decision-making positions: Andy Murray

New York: Andy Murray has backed Roger Federer’s call to merge the men’s and women’s tours, saying that many top male players believe it will be a positive step for tennis.

“When you have a lot of the top male players now starting to discuss and talk about it, that’s definitely very promising,” the Briton, who has often voiced his support for gender equality, told CNN on Friday.

“When these discussions happen it’s quite important not just to see this merger through a man’s eyes and to bring more women into the decision-making positions so that everyone’s voice gets heard,” added the two-time Wimbledon champion, who used to be coached by Amelie Mauresmo.
