This is why I do not judge players who become extremely emotional over points Yes, self containment is a virtue, but I understand 100 why someone fighting to stay in this rat race would smash a racket or argue with a line call when they're giving everything including the shirt off their back to play

In badminton at least, almost all players belong to a national team, and usually only the very best will think about going independentbrbrThe top of badminton doesn't earn much to be honest, but the bottom is decent enough as it is propped up by national team salaries and stuff, offloading a lot of cost

PTPA is not necessarily better Players could be as corrupt as businessmen
Comment from : @rolandoesteban9514

Every industry/professional sport is the same The highly successful people who make it to the top make the most money & get the most attention The wannabes actually loose money to try & be part of it, some never even reach the top 500 The more talent you have, the more successful you will be

If you are not top ranked and are 25 years old, get a real job Tennis is your hobby
Comment from : @Flumazenil

The 300th best soccer player/ baseball player basketball player in the world is a highly regarded professional athlete in some top tier league/, The Show or the NBA, the 300th best tennis player in the world is probably a grown man or woman borrowing money from their family yeah Novak was right there's alot of room for improvement in the business model of pro tennis

Reaching 7 straight finals means he had great potential Losing 7 straight finals, sorry to say is both lack of mental toughness and poor decision making under pressure Sorry but that’s a fact IMO

Thats why they rig 99 of their matches and bet against themselves
Comment from : @christian-jn3vb

I love the idea of helping the players trying to make it, but the reality of the world is that they're being subsidized by the top players Because future and challenger events generally don't sell any tickets, are not watched by anybody, and cost money to organizebrbrI think is worth investing in the lower ranked players, especially the younger players, but effort doesn't pay the bills It's a spectacle and spectacles only make money if people attend or watch it
Comment from : @augustofretes

I always thinking that match fixing in tennis is easier It’s easy for someone like Roger Federer to pay the opponent to loose And also it’s easier for the betting companies to fix a match It will earn them more money to loose than win
Comment from : @Mano-z7t

I just thought of it yes tennis is an individual sport, but why not create teams and focus sponsorships on the team and sign up players and give them the necessary facilities Yes, some players may not perform as well as the others but a loss may not be caused on the team as the better performing players will still bring in sponsorship while giving the the players who didn’t perform as well another chance Just a thought😊

Dude your knowledge of tennis is impressive
Comment from : @edidiongedemeka2096

The thing is they have the money to raise the prize funds for smaller tournaments, like fed being paid 2M to play in 250atp when total prize fund was 630k
Comment from : @justjosh1992

Why you are here to make $6 because you ain’t good enough
Comment from : @Dragonlord9

I don't understand for the life of me why this such a controversial thing It's the same as business It takes investment and most dont make it The best rise to the top and benefit This isn't bad This is a good thing It creates the best It rewards the best
Comment from : @Chris-q7w

i think the top players are levelled with big football players, in footballe you have a messi or ronaldo getting 100 milion a year and on the bench a player who gets 1 milion a year and i talk about premier ship cause down one category the everage pay is like 5000 a week , so not much difference, the only one is that football club make deal with streaming service for billions , tennis not quite the same

No wonder there are many women tennis players who do "modelling"

It would take a paramedic God knows how many years to equal a Wimbledon winners pay cheque Perspective, people
Comment from : @Facthuntcentral

$15k is almost certainly the size of the total prize pool, not the prize for 1st place
Comment from : @ericfaulk2204

Sounds analogous to the pay of the lowest tier of the Major League Baseball developmental farm system Top paid players are uber rich, while most professional baseball players get little pay, many as low as a Walmart greeter
Comment from : @rjg7112

Respect to Novak Djokovic for speaking up Thats his character right there As a passionate tennis fan I do hope his efforts bear fruit in supporting many playersbrMakes me feel differently about Dominique Thiem easy for him to rule out saving some money for the lesser fortunate on the tour Only argument that their attitude is not as good as his ?? Thats poor judgement on his part I think He had a very dedicated family to support him all the way Most players are not that fortunate Hence he should've restricted himself for speaking out against a great and honourable idea Anyways - he is history now
Comment from : @willwahl9225

The way you say "Monte Carlo, Switzerland" make it seem like you said that Monte Carlo is in Switzerland (something like Lugano ;-)) One "or" would made it clearer

Great video 👍🏼👍🏼
Comment from : @mkalbhenn

The players association is a great start, but tbh, I don’t see tennis getting on par with earnings of other sports It’s just not as marketable and economically efficient Hey, pickleball is launching for a reason
Comment from : @Maddawg31415

The players are not in it for the money
Comment from : @panama-canada

I think appearance fees are unnecessarybrThey should use that money to pay the lower ranked players better so to keep the game interesting to watch for the younger generation
Comment from : @laupeter4594

Top players have many sponsors
Comment from : @arminiuszmazowszanin2670

Absolutely the worst sport to try and be a pro
Comment from : @ts440s

As someone who follows ITF and challenger events, I am 100 sure match-fixing at these levels occurs every tournament - throwing sets; and particularly spot-fixing the first game of each set
Comment from : @divad23

Don’t worry they make up for it via match fixing
Comment from : @adampantano

The challenger and future circuit is just so incredibly harsh brbrMany potentially good players are just better off with other choices as well like college tennis for a nice degree or just sticking to national level brbrFor example in the Netherlands plenty good players purposefully tank their rating so they can play tournaments at one level below national These local tournaments often draw nicer crowds and winning prize is often around 500 to 1000 euro for typically 4 or 5 matches brbrI think the whole tournament scene needs a revamp Nobody cares for or really watches challengers and futures so the money isnt there yet every aspiring pro relies on it Tennis is really not such a big sport, many people watch it but only the slams and sports like football, basketball etc have way more viewership especially for college and amateur level Tennis is just not something people follow like they do their local basketball/football team Most of these events run at a loss if it weren't for the tour
Comment from : @markvanderwerf8592

Novak what a G!!!
Comment from : @smallworld707

Tho I am 46 and a little obese, I just saw a tennis match and I think I could win a lot I saw that Nadal has an academy Anyone knows how much it cost for say two weeks in his academy? Do they give you the money back if I dont win Wimbledon or Roland Garros within a year? I think if I was to train for two weeks every day intensively, at least 2 hours per day, quite smoking and eat better with only two or three cheating meals per week, I could win two or three grand slams but I need a little training and to get to know the rules Anyone knows what to do to sign up to play Roland Garros and Wimbledon? I check their website but couldnt find anyway to sign up as a player Thanks
Comment from : @oommcc

I watched Slone Stevens ostapenko and layla Fernandez play this week only about 600 people watching its sad these great players dont get a big audience so these guys wont get any thing the only way to make money win win win and keep winning
Comment from : @BDASS-o6l

To start with, the tournament organizers shall provide Air Tickets / local transportation and food & accommodation for all the players
Comment from : @vidyakanthpechetti639

While it would be great if the tournaments and associations shared more profits with players the sport simply does not generate as much revenue as team sports ATP and WTA can definitely do better with marketing and marketability of players to ensure sponsorships for players outside of top 10
Comment from : @trzmaier

Players usually have minimum expense of 12000 dollars a year except the flight and hotels

Comment from : @markaven5249

Maybe tennis should only be an amateur sport until the atp, itf, wta takes care of all it's players
Comment from : @nachom1971

Professional football/soccer players sitting on the bench are often not “below average” or “mediocre” There is a finite number of positions on the field at any one time, and at some point, those players need to be substituted or rested brbrThat does not mean their replacements are “below average” or “mediocre” brbrIt’s a bteam/b sport, the clue is in the namebrbrThis goes for most elite team sports, so it’s an ignorant and narrow-minded thing to say without basic context
Comment from : @ndjk2821

wownever knew That's crazy
Comment from : @msmc2728

So it makes sense economically for players to fix matches…
Comment from : @Rophimichel

This past fall I attended a Challenger Event During the week, the corporate box seats at court level were mostly empty and general ticket holders sat uncomfortably in rocking aluminum benches I suspect they are hoping to grow the event but they are certainly not putting in the practical effort to engage the tennis fan By the way - a boor by the name of Benoit Paire showed up and likely soured those open minded folks wanting to give tennis a chance
Comment from : @MelodyMaker

If you want to make money forget about pro tennis and work at MacDonald 😅
Comment from : @michaellau2544

Well now I understand why everyone in tennis treats Novak like a pariah , I thought it was just that they were sore losers, and they were miffed about his Vax boycottbr But it seems less petty than that , it's about money , he wants the system to be more fair and the tournaments to pay their lower ranked players better , and the other pros don't want to give any of their money to people who might end up on the other side of the net , it's easier to beat them if they are hungry stressed or injured, it's all become so clearbrGlad he's going to be the slam champ for a very long time, this new crop of players have a long way to go to even get near him , and he is still playing at the top of the game
Comment from : @LISA75_

Tennis isn’t the most watched sport in the world and it’s not even close to being it
Comment from : @gilycal3253

Many players you see come from rich families, many of the players who used to beat them can no longer afford to play

The CEO of the apt alone makes $1 million a year in salary, not including bonuses and expenses like a company car Top heavy, like most companies, who have a bloated executive suite
Comment from : @kevinowsley1602

exactly like golf imo

Definitely give more to the lower tiers so they can rise

Comment from : @thycatalyst

A player at our club in Toronto, managed to qualify for the us open in 2019…he won three rounds which got him a first round evening match with Federer $55000 US$ supported him for the remainder of the year, but a year later he has literally no money, and lives back in India
