they both made $350k. do your homework

Ben. STFU!!

^^ Silly Retards

Korea has no major tour events, why shouldn’t they look to bring in some big names and you can hardly expect people to not make any money out of it, we do live in a market driven capitalist society. The scheduling was sensible in that it did not impact the tour in any way. I suggest you go find something meaningful to bitch about.

roger is so amazing here he goes again money is involved in everything grow up man

I love to watch Roger play - he is so graceful on the courts and makes unbelievable shots. I can’t believe what he is doing with is backhand! What an improvement - he was good with his backhand before but even better now! Like the commentators say “he dances on the court”. By the way - is he a good dancer on the dance floor???

Tennis fans are dying to see these great matchups. The present ATP tour is not delivering the matchups that fans want to see except for a few times a year. This is the way of the future, why not have Nadal play Federer in a series of Televised exibition matches, the winner makes more money? Give the fans what they want to see.

historically, 6 match-ups between the 1 and 2 players in the world in one year is the most ever, so we have seen plenty of fedal. plus, its not up to the ATP to make these match ups. theyd love to see fedal at every freaking final but usually its nadal who doesnt quite live up to the occasion. also, exhibitions rnt ATP regulated, thats y theyr exhibitions and not tournaments. id love to see this stuff televised but its never gonna happen.

I saw that match live from Korea for free on the multimedia weblink mentioned at the “Bob Larson’s Tennis News” site. It was great even though the reception was patchy because of my slow connection.

The important thing to notice is that it was done in Korea, not in Europe or the U.S., where there’s no dearth of tennis tournaments. The more money involved, the more the game benefits. The more number of rich countries covered by such events, the more tennis benefits.

gee… do you REALLY think federer, the man who made more than $8million THIS SEASON is sitting at home thinking of ways to make MORE money??? I don’t think so!! He did it for his fans and for the publicity of the game.

hello i liked the article

i also have a tennis blog

please visit too

i heard they both donated some amount to charity as well after the match $50,000 is it???. Just brought this up cuz it wasnt mentioned on the blog.

Jon Wertheim says Fed pocketed 600,000 and Nadal 400,000. I doubt 150,000 would be enough of an incentive for either to show up, particularly Ndal. Fed may be willing just because he couldn’t get enough chances to play Nadal–he needs as many opportunities as he can get to figure the guy out and he surely is improving with each.

“and then Fed’s convincing straight setter last Saturday in Shanghai”

You’ve got a pretty loose definition for “convincing” Sean.

^^^ How was the win in Shanghai not convincing? The bloody scoreline was 7-5 6-4! You must have damn high standards is all I can say!
