wow big difference in the lives of 2 players....

but even with Juho Paukku (that must be a hard name to pronounce after a few beers) he should be proud that in the entire world there is only 700 people who practice his craft better then he does.... that in itself is quite an achievement

Nice video, but at the same time very hard. The conditions in Egypt seemed very badly, but these things happen probably more often in Futures then we think.

Anyway, it's interesting to see that the life of a tennis player, especially the Futures and Challengers players, not always rose-colored is. It's nice to see that these players also get a bit of attention.

Does anyone know where I can find the whole documentary?

Interestin to see the constrasts between the two. Can't wait to watch the whole thing.

Consider this, though: the world's 700th best brain surgeon (or any other profession) is probably doing just fine financially. He has a nice house, car, paid his dues at the local country club and worries about nothing. Meanwhile, the 700th best tennis player (who is darn good, I might add) is clawing hard to make a meager living traveling through some pretty nasty places. It doesn't quite seem right to me.

Probably 700,000th surgeon as well. I guess tennis is just not brain surgery, is it?

You know the great irony ? For the person with average or above average intelligence, it would be easier to get into med school and become a brain surgeon that it is to make it on the pro tour....

Now that I think about it, a very good point.

Nice video. I am guessing that it was shot in eary '07 so it should be out somewhere. Would love to see it.

The document is actually ready and was shown in TV back in May, but I managed to miss it. Now they've released a DVD and I ordered one right away - can't wait to see it! Seems though like they don't sell it outside Finland and Sweden at the moment.

It's been a while since the document was released, but anyway, I noticed it's being sold in Amazon UK now if anyone's interested.
