Is Doubles Tennis Really Dying? It Might, But Not Because Singles Is Better.
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges facing doubles tennis and the role of the ATP in its decline.
Doubles in tennis has a problem, but it's not being boring, neither it's athletes being less good than singles tennis players. The problem is not even in the actual sport at all: as entertainment, it does just fine, and as a recreational activity, probably the majority of amateurs play in doubles more often than singles. Well, then, how come the ATP is killing doubles little by little? I'm afraid it's a systemic problem caused by the ATP themselves, and because of the years of neglect, it's not going to be cheap to save it. If there's an audience for pickleball, you better believe there's an audience for dobles tennis. Favourite this podcast if you like our work :) SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!
