One summer me and the god brother would play this for a couple hours first thing in the morning before going outside literally all day. Did this for almost a whole summer.
@LuTuberlive@TheTennisLetter Lower tier players have a lot of overhead (travel/lodging, equipment, coaching, training and wellness) and lack of major sponsorship.
Low key. I know he's not hitting as many bombs this season. But what Shohei is doing this year is pretty dumb even by his standards. And it's being taken for granted a little.
Very underrated how the "tour" individual sports are filled with athletes fighting every tournament to earn a comfortable living. The top of the sport gets nearly all the attention.
Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.
Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:
$864,030.
What she’s earned at this tournament:
$1,624,000.
Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.
Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.
It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.
She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.
She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.
Absolutely unreal story. 🥹

I understand why they need to set a precedent, but lifetime ban is way too harsh. There's no need for rich fans to sit ON THE COURT. Basketball is the only sport that allows that.
