In the event&#8217;s early years, Moore and fellow ex-player Charlie Pasarell started PM Sports Management, which oversaw the tournament as it expanded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my next life when I come back I want to be someone in the WTA because they ride on the coattails of the men. They don&#8217;t make any decisions and they are lucky. They are very, very lucky,&#8221; Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I was a lady player, I&#8217;d go down every night on my knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal were born, because they have carried this sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also referred to women&#8217;s players as &#8220;physically attractive and competitively attractive.&#8221; Moore later apologized, calling his comments &#8220;in extremely poor taste and erroneous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am truly sorry for those remarks, and apologize to all the players and WTA as a whole,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;We had a women&#8217;s final today that reflects the strength of the players, especially Serena and Victoria, and the entire WTA.
