Are there videos regarding other (no cricket and football) sports??
Comment from : @thecricketfan6858

This is why Tennis's base will never expand Majority countries cannot even pick it up as a sport, compared to other, the facilities needed to start learning, grow, the expense for coaches Rafa's Academy costs like 60k Euros a year brI mean the lowest earning starter in 2nd Division English football earns 52k Pounds a year That is money he earns even if injured Tennis is very brutal man

It's not just tennis It's chess It's snooker It's a lot of single player sports
Comment from : @alinazhou8028

It’s incredible to me that you win anything at all in round 2
Comment from : @Oshawatt

This needs to change, it’s ridiculous how expensive tennis It just doesn’t seem worth it
Comment from : @hunchojack888

Time to hit tennis with some good ol communism

If you played on a D1 men’s college team, the dream is probably already over for you
Comment from : @jjmah7

for a great view of what it's like being on the Futures circuit and trying to win that coveted ATP point, the book CHASING POINTS by Gregory Howe is very enlightening
Comment from : @robkerr8695

There is literally hundreds of millions of tennis players out there, and you have to be top 200 in the world to actually make a living off of itbrbrInsane

How do I make this type of video?
Comment from : @Eddthethird3

Exactly the same in Golf🏌🏽‍♂️
Comment from : @sammy0305x

yeah, pretty much comfirmed what i knew already, if our Assaba would of chosen football(soccer) instead of tennis and moved to europe he would of had a living at the same level, as usual we only see the visible high top of the ice berg and forget the great majority has to grind on the bottom, certainly if they cant count on the help of sponsors like rich relatives or parrents, you really have to love it
Comment from : @tintinmilou9471

You know you watch too much tennis when Cult Tennis shows some B roll of a random ITF tournament draw and you recognize several names
Comment from : @Zephyr77

That’s awesome haha
Comment from : @spencerleegan6861

At a certain level, tennis is an expensive hobby/lifestyle
Comment from : @ethandew1768

Becoming a pro tennis player is practically impossible and so many preconditions need to be met You need to be extremely talented You need certain physical attributes You need a rich family supporting you, cuz you won't be making any money yourself But the real issue is, that you don't earn any ranking points, unless you are already an established player And without the ranking points, you won't really make it into the bigger tournaments And without making it into the big tournaments, you won't get to practice against the top tier players And if you do finally meet a top tier player, you will get destroyed because they have experience and you don't It's a viscous circle 99999 of all players are perpetually stuck facing players who are in the same viscous circle

It’s a steep steep pyramid…

Comment from : @moonlightfitz

Well, why would you want to be lower ranked? If you know that you it is hard to reach the top based on your skill set, why fool yourself and waste time and money just because you want to be the next Federer or Nadal or Djokovic when you know the chances are you won't make it? I wonder if the top tier tennis players have experienced the life of the lowest ranked players?

Comment from : @BeachSamuraiStudios

funny how an onlyfans model earns more than these talented athletes sad world
Comment from : @171_indranildutta6

Asaba is 438th now
Comment from : @aaronrule11

Would have been nice to compare earnings of 1, 10, 100 and 1000th ranked
Comment from : @chacmool2581

So pretty much it's easy if you are good, but anyone below the top 50 is a grind
Comment from : @AlonsoRules

these circumstances have incentivised match fixing
Comment from : @Jejdjejbfjf

This is why we shouldn't blame players for match fixing
Comment from : @onalennamtshweni9549

Pro tennis sounds like an enormous waste of time and money
Comment from : @cougar2013

Let's not forget tax implications as a professional athlete could be different than someone who works to fund their career, depending on country
Comment from : @notorioustori

So his take home after all expenses was $60,000 That’s the take home of someone making about 100,000 a year so really not too shabby honestly
Comment from : @joshuapatrick682

239$ for food? I don’t know how long the tournament is but if it’s 7 days that’s pretty good if you’re not eating out every day I doubt an athlete is doing the 5 dollar biggie bag at Wendy’s
Comment from : @joshuapatrick682

so i'm supposed to shed a tear for people who needs to pay for their hobby?
Comment from : @moontan91

Median income for being 200th is pretty good life
Comment from : @Verlisify

Comment from : @advantagetenniswear6105

well it's basically life you are rewarded according to your success, better to be good on what you want to do with your life
Comment from : @winningtheedge4047

Noah Rubin also comes from a family with money His dad is in finance Wouldn’t it be interesting if Rubin retires and works with his dad 10 years from now when he’s living in a McMansion and smoking a cigar in his hot tub, he can reminisce about how poor he was as a professional tennis player
Comment from : @JamminOnThe1

$239 for food?? Dafuq is he eatin?
Comment from : @kyleklontz3214

Just curious what the value of the ATP/ WTA Pension would be? From what I've read ages ago players who end the season in the top 160 (in Singles) and top 20 (in doubles) qualify for a years ATP/WTA Pension contribution with I think 5 years being amount needed to get the full pension after retirement with it being reduced for each year short of the 5 requiredbrbrAlso the prize money even in the qualifying rounds of the Grand Slams in substantial now I believe Q3 in Wimbledon pays about £18k
Comment from : @spider5600

Replaxe that little hollow player to novak lol
Comment from : @dailyoptions7832

This is why Novak Djokovic is the GOAT 🐐
Comment from : @realmadridworld1688

This is not how tennis works; this is how life works Top players deserve to get top money—that's the whole point
Comment from : @DimaaReyma

Not a good financial outcome but those are all write offs

You lost me when you promoted advertise I pay for premium not to have advertising
Comment from : @HrznII

I have a few people I know that were on the Satellite circuit And the main complaint was MONEY!! Travel, housing, food, etc And these were good college players After one year on tour, their games were even better Because they were playing for their lives And they came home extremely JADED about the sport of Tennis
Comment from : @garyhilson7220

Still just being on the pro tour almost guarantees you the opportunity to make a good living being a teaching pro at a club or academy
Comment from : @willthaxton44

This is crazy! I watched this video some time ago, and had no idea who Abraham Asada was I didn't really think he was that good Only to watch him play in the Wichita open this month and just be blown away by his abilities!
Comment from : @ethanchouinard4157

I want to be a surgeon in the future, but I would want tennis to be my sideline
Comment from : @farisellahibakhsh5852

how much does a tennis commentator make?
Comment from : @goldendynamite105

That's why for some players a few bad line calls can be catastrophic
Comment from : @barringtonsmith9147

0:57 Missed opportunity to have the bill say "Federer Reserve"
Comment from : @zanewoollett6877

It’s crazy how much the top tennis players make
Comment from : @gingeral253

Tennis is one of the most difficult sport to make money, in these ITF tournaments you have almost no difference between the 300 and 1000 ranking, as it is extremely challenging to get ATP points, lots of people don't realize how harsh it is to stay in the top 100 and to have direct access to ATP 250 tournaments
Comment from : @elwoodpalmer720

I cant even buy dampeners so yeah😒
Comment from : @nilslagerberg1273

well u have to make it until u break it
Comment from : @avici1991

I wonder if prpfessional tennis players work as a tennis coaches, I think they may make more $$ , but still may not have as much time to compete in tournaments

One of my teachers competed in Europe for a while and he drove an rv with another player and cooked everything in there

8:43, You are mixing up "pales into insignificance" and "pale in comparison" You are over manufacturing your words

I'm not a tennis fan but you're videos are amazing
Comment from : @Wild_D

Too bad tennis is not the national sport of the US We would have healthier people, lower health care costs, and not the political bs we know see in football and basketball
Comment from : @TesterBoy

eye opener !
Comment from : @vinayaktiwari4383

Sport is an entertainment industry People are simply not entertained by 200 and 300 ranked players the same way they are by players in the 50 Sponsors won't put up the money and TV deals aren't going to be made if no one is going to watch it Tennis suffers the same way swimming suffers Unless it is a major event people just aren't interested in watching it outside of the die hard fans

Comment from : @themcgonigleboxingpodcast8581

I play lots of tennis and never earn a penny!brThat’s a harsh reality indeed…
Comment from : @Michael-uk3pj

This video ties in exactly with why ITF level and Challenger players agree to fix matches, if the total prize money is $5k for the winner and a player is approached to fix for $10k That's one helluva carrot being dangled
Comment from : @nigelvee1745

This is absolutely depressing
Comment from : @bazingacurta2567

It's unfortunate for some being passionate about a sport they can't afford But truthfully I think it's common sense If I wasn't born the son to a billionaire I'm probably not going to pick up sailing as a hobbybrAlthough, if a person is talented enough in any given discipline, they'll surely land some sponsors to keep their dream alive

61000 dollars salary? WTF?
Comment from : @151bar151

It's like this in many things; sports, acting, music, etc Very few are making the big money and people have to make as much as possible while they can And it's only becoming even more competitive
