Follow-up - tennis doesn't need the money? Does the WTA have another big source of investment coming, or do you see the potential for some sources that haven't been found?
I'm saying the reporter should have gotten to Mac elaborate, if possible. Maybe s/h/they did and those comments are elsewhere. I want to know why he thinks the sport can do without $X billion, or whatever the Saudis are going to invest. Is there other untapped potential? Is the sport doing okay as-is? How would Saudi involvement hurt more than it would help?
If they want to pay the same as the ATP, they probably do.
I suppose, if they prefer money to dignity.skatingfan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 3:53 amIf they want to pay the same as the ATP, they probably do.

You know, I'd watch it. I hope this doesn't happen but if the players are okay with it, I am. I guess I don't grasp the worst complexities or potentials of the situation. My outrage button isn't going crazy.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:23 pm Look at the golfers. The PGA is a far more profitable tour than the WTA. Their career lifespan is much longer. All those players are loaded.
LIV tour? Sure, no problem.
I have never been offered a million dollars to do anything. I will give the WTA and everybody else the benefit of the doubt because I don't know how low I would stoop.
And anyway, this is not illegal.
Having said that, I will not watch the WTA YEC, and if there is a petition to sign against it, I will.
No wonder they came down so hard on him.MoozeRiver

"A sick brother was the reason Mikael Ymer missed a doping test in August. At least that's what the tennis star claimed, who has now retired.
According to Ymer, he stayed up all night and accidentally fell asleep shortly before the test.
The problem? Ymer's younger brother was in Finland at the time.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) wrote in its judgment, which has now been made public:
'The ITF (International Tennis Federation) has presented evidence that the player's younger brother was at a tournament in Finland at the time, which means that the player's description cannot be true. The player then withdrew his objection,' writes CAS.
On another occasion, Ymer had said that he stayed in Spain after being knocked out of the Barcelona Open. In fact, he had traveled to Ethiopia, writes CAS.
Ymer missed another test and was banned from professional tennis for 18 months for violations of doping rules. At the time, he was Sweden's highest-ranked tennis player.
Shortly thereafter, he chose to end his career, claiming the suspension was 'unfair.'"
