Gaudenzi started by laying stress on the need for unity in tennis in order to strengthen the sport and provide a better experience to the fans. When Nadal asked him about the plan to achieve that, the ATP Chairman called for financial transparency between events and players, a 50-50 profit-sharing structure, and enhancement of the Masters 1000 tournaments.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion agreed and showed his support by calling the plan a “win-win formula”.

ATP’s ‘OneVision’ comprises two phases and the core principles of the plan are driving unity, enhancing the fan experience, and leveraging scalable growth opportunities in media, data, content and tech.

As per Spanish newspaper Marca, World No. 4 Rafael Nadal trained behind closed doors at the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponca on Monday.

Nadal used anesthetic injections and anti-inflammatories during Roland Garros to eliminate pain from his foot.
