Today I broke 300 for the first time. Yet I'd make more money working at McDonald's 😂 I'm ok because of my online work but I feel for my peers. The level is so high now all the way to 400 (at least), go watch a challenger. Tennis outgrew the conventional top 100

A Brazilian player was just suspended for a steroid that is highly used in cattle in Colombia (he was tested there). Meaning red meat can be contaminated. Many other cases like this happened in the past. Is he going to get the same treatment as Mr #1 in the world?

How about we normalize the fact that guys playing challengers are fucking good and can beat most top 100 guys. 100-200 level is not that far off. Karatsev, him. All players need is more money at smaller tournaments and opportunities to play in ATP events. A sustainable tour

I don’t think giving a 16 yr old a WC into a 1000 is a good idea. I actually think we need to get rid of WCs in 1000s. The only 1s that should ever be given are to former Major champs or former #1s . Everyone else should have to play Qs. A WC is NOT bringing in more fans to a 1000

Perricard is, IMO, an example of where tennis is going. Players are getting taller, more athletic while being good movers. We'll see more guys like him, built like an NBA power forward, ridiculous serve, competent from the baseline. Harder and harder for shorter players

Runs like Karatsev's at the Australian Open is the reason why players at the lower level need more financial support. We never know when someone's time to shine will come. Some earlier, some later but you need to be able to support yourself during the journey...

Thoughts after playing challengers again: Tennis is so deep, there's so much talent. But the ATP once again has fucked it up. Challengers now give fewer points and tour events more points. Result? Harder to leave and break into top 100. A losing record will be enough to stay

Tennis is not a "top 100 sport anymore". Guys 600 are beating 100 (twice this week alone). Moving up and down should be simpler. A guy can stay top 100 going 15-25 in the year and another can't break top 100 going 45-25. Even more so now with the points difference

These retirements are too much. Andy is truly the definition of leaving it all out there. Achieved so much while competing vs literally the best 3 players ever. That first Wimbledon 🏆 was potentially the most important title of any player this century. Thank you @andy_murray

Without wild cards to big events, it can be basically impossible. Look at doubles, it's been the same dudes for 20 years because it's basically impossible to fall out. I don't say this for myself, I'm far from the level. But challengers players are getting the shaft

@CharlieWinns First and foremost, open the books. Let's really see where the money is going from events. What's the revenue split between tournaments and players. Guaranteed salaries for different rankings (I'd say all the way to 350). Player union is a must

The @Served_Podcast with the @ptpaplayers was fantastic. Roddick is in a great position as an interviewer where he can be (refreshingly) direct, no cookie cutter stuff. Good to have these honest conversations. Finding leverage is the challenge for the PTPA. @andyroddick

Dudes are doing Adderall and weed gets someone banned for 2 YEARS?? The irony here is immense. Weed is the least performance enhancing drug in the world (unless you are competing for who eats more snacks). Fucking bs all around

This is so important. Guy 160 in the world can't save for his future. Many people in the same situation. In the US, a coach working full time (college, clubs, private work) takes home way more money than a pro 200-100. Unsustainable lifestyle

I really don't understand why zverev plays that far back on the court. Can anyone explain it to me? Is it a tactical choice or just lack of confidence in offense? So odd a guy 6'6 playing that way

Djokovic, the "villain".. Am I right? Think what you want about him but he clearly cares about this topic. This conversation needs to be LOUDER! Start here: GS qualies pays 50k for first round qualies. If you are 120 to 250, that money will keep you going for longer.

All amateur players should watch this. Most are looking for the perfect "tactics" or perfect "play" but the truth is, that shit breaks down within the point. Sometimes all you can do is chill, do nothing and wait for an opportunity to hurt again. Not forcing it is your friend

This thread of people trying to argue with @andyroddick is HILARIOUS. Arguing with a guy who literally played against all of those guys 😂😂 He is saying MOST COMPLETE. Not best. Not most accomplished. Purely from a tennis view, C.A. is the most complete. Andy is 100% right.
