Will the ATP and WTA tour suffer from the economic melt down?

i read LPGA 2009 calendar has cut down 2 events and the total prize money shrink from 60 million to 55 million in 2009.
will tennis suffer the same? did the calendar made? is the prize money increase or decrease? any tournament eliminated due to the poor sponsorship?
anna, what happen to your top contributor badge?
J.A.V.V - any info for ATP?
Looks like tennis is well and strong.. good for all tennis fans!

No Eric neither WTA nor ATp will suffer, in fact WTA is offering record prize money of $77 million for for 2009, which is in fact a $ 10 million jump from the $ 67 million prize money they offered in 2008.

They are also giving equal prize money for most of the joint events like Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Dubai etc.

The events have been reduced though 20 Premier events featuring top players this time, 6 less than the 26 Tier 1 and 2 events they had in 2008.

But the new schedule gives more in season breaks to top players, by reducing the number of mandatory events, , from 13 to 10 tournaments for the top players, 23% reduction.

To top it off there is a 30% increase in off season they will have a 9 week off season this time around, instead of the usual 7 week off season. So players will definitely benefit.

WTA is also investing $710 million in new stadium facilities, i don't see a sign of a financial crisis in all this, so its obvious WTA is not gonna suffer from the economic melt down.

See the 2 links below they contain a lot of information on this issue, and they also contain information on the changes WTA is making for 2009, and so on especially the first link

ATP is also offering more prize money in 2009, the link below says its record breaking prize money for 2009-10, which is correct.

ATP is giving a 36 percent increase in prize money for next year and a $8 million bonus pool. Plus, almost a billion dollars of investment in tournaments, new stadiums and improved facilities. No sign of a financial crisis on ATP as well, its in a very healthy state.

Tennis - Nadal and Serena favorites to win Sony Ericsson Open

The annual tournament that is held at Miami, also known as the Sony Ericsson Open or Miami Masters will be taking place this week at the Tennis Center at Crandon Park. The tournament, that has a final prize of $4.5 million and gathers the best of both men and women players of the world, is as well one of the most important tennis tournaments of the year, besides the Grand Slams, under the categories ATP Masters 1000 on the ATP calendar and Premier Mandatory in the WTA .

For this year the favorite spots are set to the both World No.1 seeds, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal, from whom everyone expects great performances.

The No.1 and two-time defending champion, Serena Williams, will be back on track after skipping her participation at the Indian Wells at the beginning of the month. She has won the tournament 5 times in the last seven years. She has enjoyed it very much since she considers this is her home tournament; she lives just 90 minutes away.

"I love playing here," said Williams about the tournament. "I have so many friends that come down. Some of them can't come in the beginning; they can only come at the end. So I always joke that I've got to be playing at the end of the tournament. It has worked for me in the past."

Serena, who has also won the last two Grand Slams, including the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, has been widely criticized before for not giving tennis the importance that it might have, but last year she announced that Tennis will be her No. 1 priority, making her level of competition much more higher than other years and this may give her a lot of chances to dominate again in the 2009 campaign.

Her first match is scheduled for Friday against either Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland or American wild card Alexa Glatch.

On the other side, for men competition the favorite is Rafael Nadal, who just played the final at the Indian Wells tournament beating Andy Murray in two sets. Rafa will try to win a second elite ATP Masters 1000 title as he already arrived to Florida fresh from his last victory expecting to give a great performance as always.

Nadal has six Grand Slam titles under his belt; the last one was the Australian Open when he beat Roger Federer at Melbourne Park. He is now expecting to win the Miami’s trophy since the last two times that he has participated he has lost; the first one in 2005 against Roger Federer and the second one last year against Nikolay Davydenko.

Nadal expressed in a press conference that he has a lot of pressure since everybody wants him to win every single tournament that he participates on. He explained that he feels more confident on the competition level that he is having right now, but he says that it is very difficult to play on his best level during the whole year.

His first match will be Saturday night on Stadium Court against the winner of the match between Teimuraz Gabashvili and Simone Bolelli.
