Stop plunging the knife into my heart. It's still too soon to talk about it.

srsly, how can he ask a question "how many players should make a living off tennis? 100? 200? 500? 1000?" and then mention he means "50-100K netto profit/year" as if it was the biggest problem - for 1000th guy to earn $100K per year. ofc people will say it's ridiculous (just like they say football players are hugely overpaid etc.) and he will have a "proof" that "public opinion says the current system is fair"
manipulative shit just like this ATP university where players are taught how to not reply to doping and match fixing questions and stuff.

i will absolutely write an article on how bookmakers can manipulate matches on ITF tour (yes, not gamblers approaching players, but bookie employees are the biggest scum, players are scared of them) and journalists, even if they pay a monthly fee for national media association, pay taxes for their job, take a cost of going to the tournament (them or media they represent), they are still not allowed to update from ITF matches! only the select bookmaker is allowed

wtf? tennis for fans or for some mafia????

actually i know this official in person, i think he might be the most genuine guy in that circus after all

I went to bed and then logged onto my TL and was like you go girl. I mean you understand why I was sceptical of asking why the questions was genuine? I mean they have to grow the sport and not just focus on the top 4, once they retire then there is a void.

ATP uni is a bigger farce than the Eurovision voting. Can't be surprised with the nonsense at the lower levels when the pay is so low and yes it was manipulative.

di Palermo was a former agent and tournament director so I am always suspect. Thomas Schrader the Brazilian ATP tour manager, he isn't that bad considering he is an ATP guy and always will be, so it's relative.

[Nathaliia]

well, i met him in Sopot when i was in my mid-teens, ofc first thing i did was mistaking him for Mancini and asking for autograph (ofc i doubt he knows it was a Twitter of that little girl from Polish events who danced with umpires in Galaxy and Copacabana )

i didn't know he was a tournament director before... i can just say i remember him as a very nice, helpful person and players didn't speak anything bad about him either

ofc investing in top 4 only is bad. they'll need to be replaced at some point

then we have guys like donald young or bernie tomic who peak at 14 and don't achieve much afterwards (i hope for aussies tomic won't go don's way, but so far resemblance is striking)

the system is wrong, just like slowing surfaces down, which makes tennis so physically draining. kids take years before breakthrough at the age of 21-24, some talents crash out for no money for travelling the ITF before they get enough experience and mature body weight (boys grow until they're 21!)

[Action Jackson]

It's obvious to us, but we aren't the people that need to be catering to. Funny a lot of the agents are Italian for some reason.

Tomic, has already done better than DY but these kids are so spoilt.

I was trying hard to not say the same thing

I guess Alexander Zverev is the next hype. Actually, Mischa also wasn't bad when he was young.

(28) scoobs vs. nadalsharapova
Wing Man Frank vs. (7) Mark Lenders

this could be a semifinal, dammit

[MariaV]

Attention seekers!
Hema just voted! And she voted for Thanos. Will he now badrep her?
Thanos seriously, why would you want to beat FiloV in clownery? Besides it's impossible anyway.

[Action Jackson]

Can see the usual stuff voting for someone thinking the other person/favourite will win but doesn't. Then they bitch like hell.

I feel like you do not possess the clarity of vision and purity of heart that are required for such understanding.

Glad you liked.

Can't believe you voted for me by the way. Only fitting that I returned the favour.

If I had voted yesterday, I would have voted for you as well.

and ACC voting was over
so i just voted for silverwhite in the TF popcon

At least you have time to make some posts on MTF.

when i saw some of the wtf final i recalled why fed used to be my favourite player from the top, some great shots, too bad he's not able to deliver it on daily basis

even in that final he choked like a mug

Sometimes, watching Federer is a religious experience.

Sometime in 2010, I finally understood the true meaning of life and I haven't been the same ever since.

I am hoping I still possess the pregnant woman immunity against badreps.

Dogs Ball's agent is one of the few that isn't dodgy.

[acionescu]
