DRII
G.O.A.T.
to hit with one of the 'lower ranked' pros on tour???
Saw a special about the struggles of pros ranked lower than 150th or so. Noah Rubin was the subject of the show (it was on CBS, search on youtube and you'll find it) and they highlighted what his life is like and the various frustrations he has to deal with, the most significant being not making much money overall.
Then I got to wondering, well how much earning potential would these pros have if they did like a residency at local, higher level (posh) tennis clubs on their off season in various cities around the country or even the world. I can imagine they could definitely book in the 6 figures money wise if it was planned out well and certainly if there were sponsors involved.
Especially a player like Noah Rubin, whose name is at least somewhat known!
I mean, I would pay $300 for a 30 minute to an hour long hitting session with him, if not more, that included advice and some conversation. I think it would be an amazing experience. that would be up to about $3000 a day or so, which could easily add up for the few weeks a year they are 'off'. Also these lower ranked players don't play a full schedule because they don't get into all the tournaments. Beats winning only 300 - 800 dollars, if that, per round at a smaller challenger.
I'm sure somebody has thought of this before, so I'm assuming for some valid reason it doesn't work, which is a shame...
