By 1988, the association announced that they would officially control the game by helping players form a tour, called the ATP Tour. The tour officially began in 1990.ATPtennis: About the ATPAbout the WTA Tour
The Women's Tennis Association was formed in 1973 by tennis great, Billie Jean King, as a governing body for the women's professional tennis circuit.
