The new tour being proposed by the Grand Slams would see only the top 96 players compete in a reduced number of tournaments for an exponential rise in prize money.

Join us at Tileyard in London, as we discuss the biggest potential shake up we've ever seen in tennis, and what it means for those of us working in the sport.

Our amazing panel on the night will be:-
John Morris - Tennis super-agent at the heart of these discussions
Freddie Nielsen - 2012 Wimbledon doubles champion and Danish Davis Cup captain
Gaby Dabrowski - 2023 US Open champion and WTA Board Member
Calvin Betton - ATP doubles coach
