Novak Djokovic says tennis is endangered at the club level, ‘If we don’t do something about it globally, they���re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle or pickleball’

“In terms of innovation in our sport… other than Slams, we have to figure out how to attract a young audience. Tennis on one hand is in a good place, but at the same time, when we look at Formula 1 for example and what they’ve done in terms of marketing, in terms of growth of the sport, in terms of the races around the world and how popular they are.. I think we need to do a better job on our respective tours. The grand slams are always gonna do well. But I think our tours need to do better. We are lucky to be very historic and a very global sport. But I think one of the studies that was done by PTPA 3 or 4 years ago showed that tennis is the 3rd or 4th most watched sport in the world along with cricket. Number 1 is football or soccer as you call it in the states. Second is basketball. Then it’s tennis and cricket. But tennis is number 9 or 10 on the list of all sports in terms of using its popularity, commercializing or capitalizing on that. I think there’s a huge space for growth. We’re quite fractioned as a sport. There are quite a bit of things for us to collectively look at and try to improve it. We need to grow the number of players that live from this sport. Very rarely do I see in the media that you guys are writing about the fact that you have only 350 to 400 players both men, women, singles, doubles across the board that live from this sport on this planet. That’s deeply concerning for me. Yes, we talk about the grand slam winner wins this or that. The focus is always on the grand prize but what about the base level? We’re still doing a very poor job there… very poor job. Tennis is a very global sport and it’s loved by millions of children that pick up a racquet that wanna play, but we don’t make it accessible. We don’t make it so affordable. Especially in countries like mine that doesn’t have a strong federation, that has Grand Slam or history or big budgets.. so I think collectively we all have to come together or create a new foundation, a corner stone of really what tennis is about.. which is the base level. The club level. Now we have paddle that is growing and emerging. People kind of have fun with it and say ‘Yeah but tennis is tennis. Tennis is the king or queen of all racquet sports.’ That’s true. But on a club level, tennis is endangered. If we don’t do something about it, globally or collectively, paddle, pickleball in the states, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle and pickleball. Because it’s more economical. You have one tennis court… you can build 3 paddle courts on one tennis court. Do the simple math. It’s just much more financially viable for the owner of the club to have those courts. These are some of the things I wanted to share. In the grand scheme of things, we need to address all these challenges and issues. Because they’ve been out there for a while. I don’t think we’ve been addressing it in the proper way.”

Saldos y retazos terminada la fase de grupos..
1- Uruguay y Colombia son los dos mejores EQUIPOS de la competición.
2- la @FCFSeleccionCol es la mejor de los últimos 20 años y monedas. EQUIPO serio, valiente, equilibrado en el q todos juegan y todos trabajan.
3- Redujo en competencia los baches y pálidas..el juego es más continuo.
4- Los niveles de intensidad son altos por espacios del juego con la regulación necesaria.
5- Excelente estado de forma física. Rematan los juegos con nivel alto.
6- Diversidad anotadora.. todos marcan.
7 - Lerma es el Patron! Laterales asimétricos siendo Muñoz el
más largo aunque le atacan la espalda. Sanchez en alto nivel, arquero seguro y los de arriba cierran y hacen un futbol funcional.
8- Defienden y atacan juntos.
9- Lorenzo,en la raya, es muy bueno ( comunicado no tanto)
9- James, versión Copa América, es el mejor producto suyo. “Integral”, increíblemente importante sin el balón, con unos niveles de sacrificio y madurez notables ( inexistentes en el pasado) y en definitiva.. es otro. La mejor y más completa versión suya en toda su carrera. Sumo lo q le faltaba y por lo q con razón se le cuestionaba.
10- Estamos para jugar la final y ganarla.. ( vengo con esto desde hace meses.. la tengo clara aunque no contaba con el aporte y la suma del nuevo 10)

Verstappen has got to be the BIGGEST idiot in F1 right now.

Checo Perez did everything to make sure Max won the championship last season, yet Max couldn’t move over and help him out (when he’s already wrapped up the championship this year).

Max is a joke. Petulant little boy.
