A Leaf out of the Tennis Book
I Have of course been watching Wimbledon during the course of the last week and particularly liked the assured performance from the only British hope Andy Murray yesterday.
It got me thinking about the structure and model of professional Tennis, something I have always been an advocate of.
Professional Tennis players are selected for tournaments (of which there are many!) based on ranking. I am wonderng whether it is about time that professional pool moved to this model?
It would mean World Ranking points being awarded for every tournament. The amount of ranking points would be determined by the quality of the tournament, factors like prize money, number of high ranked players and media coverage would of curse come into account.
I am sure it could work though if the WPA took the initiative, your thoughts?
