WTA can weather revenue hit but no normalcy until 2022 - CEO

MUMBAI: The WTA has a strategy in place to cope with the financial strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic but chief executive Steve Simon thinks the elite women's Tour will not return to any semblance of normality before 2022.

"And we've been hit hard, just as many other companies have been as well. If we're not operating and you're losing 50 to 60per cent of your year, your financials and your revenues are going to drop significantly. "You never know where you might lose one. But it appears that most of our calendar will stay intact if obviously the conditions allow for sporting events to be held going forward."
