Looking to terminate these uncertainties days ago, the ATP president announced the OneVision project. A project designed to not only eliminate these differences but also build a stronger future for men’s tennis.

Going step by step, as per Gaudenzi, the first step towards the future is competing with the most viewed sports in the world. Opening up about his idea, Gaudenzi said, “We are going to work together to improve our sport, instead of fighting each other. The competition is soccer, American football or golf.”

Known for his highly supportive nature, Nadal took no time to agree with Gaudenzi. Being a prominent part of the tour’s history, and a role model for the future generation, Nadal said, “I agree, we lose a lot of energy debating among ourselves, the tournaments fight for their interests and the players fight for theirs.”
