The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) is reportedly in discussions with Saudi Arabia to engineer a dramatic change to the start of the men's tennis season. According to British newspaper, The Times , Saudi Arabia is keen to host a new Masters 1000 tournament just a week before the Australian Open.
