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.”

Very shoddy work by Oliver Wyman on its BDL engagement.
They say, in March 2021, that the LBP exchange rate has overshot. It was ~12,000 at the time. It’s ~100,000 now.
They also say the Govt can recapitalize BDL “which should not be too onerous.” Well 3x GDP seems pretty onerous to me, though they do note that the needed recapitalization will depend on the level of deposit write-downs. That’s like saying I can afford this Ferrari depending on whether or not you give me a 99% discount.
At the same time, OW proposes that the Govt recapitalize BDL with a zero coupon bond, which would “have no financial impact”. That’s not a recapitalization. That’s replacing the Other Assets/Seignorage accounting gimmick with a zero coupon bond accounting gimmick. Both are not getting paid. What’s the point of proposing this?
It goes on: “That a central bank should have negative net worth is not in itself a disaster, nor is it a necessary barrier.” You can say this about a central bank with a small loss. Not one with 3x GDP worth of losses. They go out of their way not to upset anyone even at the cost of being straightforward and clear.
It is typical consultant double-speak. For ex, the report praises BDL on one page (saying it has performed its duty to maintain the exchange rate) but then confirms tens of billions of dollars of misleading accounting on another page.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say it performed it’s duty, and then talk about how the exchange rate has collapsed, we need deposit write offs, and the balance sheet is off by tens of billions of hidden losses. It gets worse. They accept that the balance sheet uses false accounting to obscure the losses and also say “one cannot say that a particular accounting approach is correct.”
Consultant double-speak at its finest.
There is a new generation of nerds.
Crypto Kids who got rich in 2021 by scamming in shitcoins or NFTs.
The easy money isn’t in crypto anymore,
They’re 20-something and have no real-world skills, but the rent is due and their crypto fortune is shrinking.
Think I've worked out why Guardiola got angry with Ederson. Basically, it seemed to be City's plan to get Ederson to play the ball to Rodri or Gundogan, even when under pressure, so they could pass it on again. But Ederson played to Stones, who had to go long
This a is MUST watch. @elonmusk calls out the state media BBC for their lies and misinformation. Watching Elon defy the establishment is the entertainment I didn’t know I needed.
