@controlthecontrollables: A player ranked 50-100 in the world won SIX matches all year and made $550,000. 💰 That’s the argument for cutting doubles from the sport so he can make $570k instead of $560k. Does that sound fair to you? 👇 For the full debate around the 2028 ATP doubles proposals, click the top link in our bio for the full episode. ⬆️ #Tennis #Wimbledon #ControlTheControllables
500k before tax! Make it 300k after. A coach for that ranking costs at least 1k per day. Take the coach 100 days - 100k. Tickets, hotels physio , equipment- easy another 100k . So best case you are left with 100k to live on , best case ! And mind you , you need to put aside for retirement , you should not spent everything

The daily expenses on coaches, physios, travel, hotels etc etc will chomp that 500k pretty quick

the sidelining of doubles is atrocious. most people play doubles not singles. doubles is under promoted and hardly shown. it's much quicker and exciting to watch.

Do they not need to pay for all the travel out of that? Facilities and coaches wages?

It’s not rocket science is it. They’re not paid based on number of matches. Revenue doesn’t work like that. Betton is so biased to doubles

Because a chunk of that money has to be spent on all the costs that are involved in being a professional tennis player

Brits obsession with doubles is amusing. It's fine as a filler at tournaments but next to nobody goes to specifically watch a double match. It's rare I agree with the ATP but I definitely do on this matter. Go set up their own tour if they think it's commercially viable. Otherwise take your medicine.
