Exactly, someone gives you 1.5 million bucks just to show up and you'll be there like flies on shit.

Clearly you do considering how heated my comments are making you .

Delusions. Trolling mugs can't make me heated

Let's put money aside now. With a packed schedule like this, the actual ATP tour tournaments should be more important to him than exhibitions. At exhibitions, players primarily compete for the fat money check. He still has a chance to compete for the year-end world #1, although small, as the gap between him and Alca in the Race is quite big, but he still has it. He shouldn't overplay and tire himself out.

Federer was never fit when he skipped Paris except maybe in 2019. He lost early a scary number of times though.

According to Florentine he was skipping Paris because he prefered (maybe contract)Basel

 

[del piero]

Really, it's mostly six kings that's weird here, although I agree that he should remove Vienna as well. Shanghai, Paris and Turin are all mandatory and at his age he should play all. It would've looked better if Shanghai were a 56 draw instead of 96 draw. I was surprised to see Zverev is also playing Vienna as well.

I assume that realistically, decisions will probably be made after Shanghai depending on Alcaraz and Sinner's results until then. There are quite a few possibilities for Sinner to retake #1 by Turin, especially as Alcaraz is not playing Vienna/Basel and Sinner not protecting points from Paris. I have my doubts, though, that Sinner will keep #1 after Turin.

Paris/London points used to be dropping on same day,not anymore?

Its potential 6 milions for 3 bo3 matches!!!!in other cases even for two matches.

This. Nobody is going to miss that, let alone the player that still hasn't made serious wealth

Eurojackpot is 120 million, still a long way to go for Saudis. But yes, such an amount of money is very tempting.

And unlike Carlos Us open check(half of that went to federal and local tax),basically 2,5 million ,i am not sure how high saudi tax.

I just read there are 0 taxes. I don't know if it's true, but if it is, then no taxing of their prize money.

Usually its really low in rich middle east countries,probably around 10%

Not like here where it goes up to around 40%, shitty ways of capitalism.

Event keeps getting better and better

 

[Enrico82]

It's really not that extreme. Last two seasons he played 79 and 84 matches.

So far he's on 43. If he were to make the final of Beijing, Shanghai, 6 Kings, Vienna, Paris and WTF, he would have played an extra 28 matches, so 71 in total.
Davis Cup is another 3 singles max, plus max 3 doubles.

It's a lot of matches in two months, but doable at his age, no 5 setters either and you'd expect him to win many/most comfortably - his next 3 will be something like Atmane/Muller/ADM, for example.
For context, Alcaraz played 23 matches in two months on clay this spring (but 7 of them were best of 5) and won all but 1.

I think 6 Kings Slam may last longer than Laver Cup financially, I hear they are in the red

Saudi oil money def. Federer Rolex money

Laver Cup is fun, but imagine paying California or UK taxes

IW and Miami having same prize money,but winners bank account looks different,thanks to Taxafornia madness.

Last year when Sinner won 6 Kings Slam, it was HALF his prize money for the SEASON!

And after taxes probably 60-70% honestly

 

[FlyingKite]

Sinner thought Alcaraz will tank the whole indoor season like before. Hence he is stacking up.

 

[linkgoron]

Paris points drop Nov 3rd, Finals drops Nov 10th according to OER (after Athens).

 

[BullGOAT]

My guess is he'll skip Paris & Davis Cup.
