Shocking Revelations: ATP Rakes in $293.7 Million… But Pays Its Employees Less Than the WTA!
Behind the Scenes: ATP Unveils Disturbing Figures
Thanks to journalist Daniel Kaplan, we now know how much the ATP generated last year: $293.7 million.

Yet, one detail is already raising initial questions: despite its nearly doubled revenues, the ATP distributed less money to its employees than the WTA.
$25.3 million on the ATP side compared to $26.9 million for the women's circuit.
A situation that is, to say the least, surprising.
