I’m an old fart and resistant to these hyper exho events. I feel the traditional tours like atp and itf should be where I go to for real pro tennis kicks.
But from reading here and social media, I think I’m behind the times.
Laver cup and six kings seem to be very popular and garner comparable if not more interest to slams etc. I notice that these events are good at selling themselves and six kings had Netflix I think making it very accessible.
What it tells us? Is atp and itf needing to get their acts together to really sell the pro tennis circuit? Or are these exho just more trendy and a nice addition bringing tennis more attention?
And are atp and itf in any danger of being replaced by a highly paid and visible set of glamorous and accessible tennis events? For example monthly events like six kings with the top pros just turning up for slams and the odd masters?
