The International Tennis Federation (ITF) undertook a three-year review of the professional and junior game, which established that there are too many players trying to compete on the professional circuit, too few players breaking even and that the age of these players is increasing.
In a move that could see the number of players competing professionally decrease from 14,000 to 1,500, the ITF has approved the introduction in 2019 of a Transition Tour that features localized entry-level events to "better aid the transition from junior to professional tennis."
