LOS ANGELES: The women's pro tennis tour is in talks to shorten its 11-month schedule by a week in 2006 and by two weeks in 2007 in response to years of player complaints about the season being too long.
“We are not far away from announcing a shortened season,'' tour president and CEO Larry Scott said. “For the next few years, the direction I am going to be taking at this point in time is not to be expanding the number of events, but to be looking at what we have and see how we can get more value of it.''
