The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) said it is working to boost players' earnings when the sport resumes after the coronavirus shutdown.
The association added that it is also considering extending the 2020 season.
"The WTA is diligently working with our tournaments to maximize earning possibilities when the professional tennis circuit is able to resume and is considering an extension to the current 44-week season to enable more tournaments to take place," it told Reuters in a statement.
"It is our sincere hope to return to the court as soon as possible - when the health and safety or our players, fans and staffs can be guaranteed, we will be back competing."
The men's ATP Tour and the WTA have suspended all tournaments until June 7 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
