Soccer, football or golf are not competition, people who like sports just watch all of them. The thing is to make people interested in tennis, especially kids. I know that most tennis fans are young adults and adults, but kids are not into tennis cause they don't have a lot of places to practice, to learn and even to watch tennis matches. Im a huge tennis fan, always have been, but for example if you are from south america you are screwed (im from Chile), cause we dont have big events like in USA or Europe. On the other hand you have the chance to teach a lot of great values from tennis (especially discipline, devotion and desire to do well), but you kinda feel lonely trying to learn more about the sport you love. UA-cam does a great job and tennis tv too, it could be great to see some book recomendations or personal stories from the players themselves. Big hug!
I appreciate this talk to improve ATP Tour to have unity among players, for the good benefits of the tournaments organizers and tennis players and considering also how to make it entertaining for the spectators and fans around the world. Praying for excellence and wisdom in both party. How can Rafa manage everything on his plate, it’s full. God gives you wisdom, Rafa…my prayer.
1. We need more ATP tournaments in other parts of the world, not just mostly Europe and US. 2. Make content more accessible and affordable. 3. Engage retired players/legends to promote the sport in different countries. 4. ATP players circles should include those ranked 200 and up. 5. Less hard courts. More grass.
A challenge is that tennis is no longer assessible unless you pay to watch on Tv or live streaming. Kids are missing out big time on exposure to tennis. Yes profit must be made but seems people got too greedy. 🌿
In the U S most have cable that includes ESPN 1 & 2 and at least the Opens are shown on these channels and sometimes the 1/4 to finals are shown on NBC, or CBC, or ABC. Yes, the Tennis Channel cost an extra $40.00/month over the cost of cable and if have Tennis Channel many games of the Opens are shown on the Bally Sports Channels. Sometimes Channel 50 shows past great tennis games but one has to keep checking the Guide to find them and too often they are in the middle of the night. Agree with you in that we all would like to watch all the games without paying for a Tennis Channel and all kids need to be exposed to tennis.
The thing ATP needs to do is to make Masters 1000 longer than just 4-5 days. It needs to feel more grandiose. Having your best player start a tournament on Wednesday and end it on Sunday is crazy. Well i guess some of them will step it up next year or year after
The Irony is that Rafa always speak about hoping for luck while his game and attitude work like there is no such thing As a diplomat, I think Rafa can serve the game so much if he leads this process after he retires for two to three years as there is no one more respected and no better ambassador than him, no?
Also, I think if Masters 1000 will grow bigger and the calender will expand this will change the parameters of greatness in the future so GOAT debates in the future will look nothing like now

Đoković started speaking about transparency first and he also advocated for making more money to the player's. These guys are just tagging along on his PTPA ideas.
Be a tennis player it's much more difficult than it seems if you don't play... It's not possible that only the first 100 in the world ranking lives a beautiful life and for the others you have to play and also to teach tennis or doing other jobs only because it's not sustenaible for the costs.. I think, like every other field, only the athletes who has achieve most can help the sector to improve for the quality of the tournaments and for the safety of each player (mentally and physically)
I adore Rafa, but this is exactly the same argument he's been having with Rog since 2010-2012 when the two of them were part of the council. It's almost impossible to find a balance for points to be "saved" when players take a break without it directly harming lower ranked players. There were people who STILL had points from 2019 in 2022 after the covid freeze, and that only made it harder for those grinding for points to break even in the rankings. Idk, maybe I'm missing something out, but I've heard this from him one too many times I feel like
Nothing is really close to the grand slams and never will be. It is actually not fair that a GS is worth only twice the points of a master tournament when everyone, including most fans and the players, consider them way way more important than that.
Sorry let’s be very clear - it’s Wimbledon firing the first shot by taking aim at certain players that have nothing to do with the heinous war Putin launched back in March. If anything the ATP standing behind Russian and Belarusian players shows the concept of unity - this also inherently being a key pillar to the success of One Vision.
@@rohan4872 it is good to mention that Wimbledon acted after pressure from the government also this ATP measure is to show governments that they are not the only stakeholder that can influence tounements
PTPA, hopefully you understand what an efficient business/strategic plan looks like and maybe the Djokotards cult will comprehend you help the players BY CREATING more and more tournaments and projects rather than spreading false information on Twitter. 😁
@@ishthiaqshaik1083 The discussion in this video had no relevance to covid at all. This was a particular case in the history of sport. As you can clearly notice, Rafa Nadal won the most important two tournaments this year, yet he's 4th in the world, although he leads the race by almost 2000 points ahead of Alcaraz who's second. Stop pretending Nadal is favored by what happened in Wimbledon, it's so lame to think so. 😆
@@ishthiaqshaik1083 rafa and roger keeps points from 2019 but those who made points last year at wimbledon are going to drop them even if they make better results this year. IF berretini wins Wimbledon this year he still drops 1000 points he made last year.IF djokovic defends his title he still drops 2000. . ATP is joke .
@@seadkapic4768 You certainly know, what can I say... Rafa doesn't have any points left from 2019, he doesn't have anything left to defend from last year as well, because he didn't play, but according to the Djokotards, eveything is a conspiracy to ruin Djokovic!!
Unfortunately, tennis here in the US is losing at the grassroots levels. There is not much participation from younger players. Going to the tournaments there are very few young spectators. Perhaps it's reflective of the bad demographics, maybe it's a broader issue. This OneVision sounds more like a way of making more money at the top not growing the sport.
….or like golf, end up with oil money funding a beak away tour with crazy prize money…. there must be some issues as Joker started his break away player union before the pandemic…. like golf maybe player just want more $$
@@Raju-bf5ox yes, he did. He is in players council along with Federer and Wawrinka’s couch. Other players either left or retired so… 🧐 again, yes, he did.
@@stankovicjelena11 then tell me what important djokovic took when he was the president of atp council...they are just a member ...they dont have any influence on management decisions
@@Raju-bf5ox I know that he didn’t take any major decision that harmed other players. Otherwise, he would be crucified in medias as they do to him even with no reason. They are not, council is council for reason, otherwise it wouldn’t exist at all.
sorry but you have absolutely no idea about how the real world functions if you think this one man has enough political clout to influence a reactionary decision the atp, wta and itf took jointly in response to the LTA’s decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players
all of us are puppets of the establishment...don't worry...these guys work hard to give entertainment of a relatively cleaner kind (compared with film stars... dancers...musicians... fashion models etc... all of whom and their industries are pulled by far less clean puppetry - to put it mildly)... so just let it be... grin/smile and bear it...
there is no “recovery” for him because his foot condition is congenital and cannot be fixed. all he can do is manage the pain and play through it which is what he’s been doing for decades.
He wasn’t injured. He is dealing with Mueller Weiss syndrome and receiving treatment to manage the pain. The nerve block shots he received during RG is constantly used in ALL sports. The treatment he received last week (burning the nerve) is supposed to have the same effect than the nerve block procedure, but can last for a couple of years.
Look this two, one is probably corrupt and other one is hypocrit, lier and probably doping user. The first one actually destroying tennis as a sport,cause there is a too much politics. We all know, who like sports, there is no room for politics. Shame on both of you, but I'm sure, you don't have that feeling. 🤮
It’s fascinating how his winning made you live with a complex .. just be happy for others and you’ll live better plus you are witnessing some history being made so enjoy that and stop wasting your time accusing people.
i agree along with Novak another player of questionable endurance. Novak went from retiring after 90 minutes in 2008 to playing 6 hour Australian open finals in about 3 years. A joke.
I really hope we see the GOAT in wimbledon this year
We will don't worry
In the Interview after the final at Roland Garros, you Heard That he wont be playing at Wimbledon
@@csbene4203 he will guaranteed. Only Novak has a better chance than him on grass
Tomic should be in the qualifying draw.
@@csbene4203 he didn’t say he won’t be playing Wimbledon. He said he didn’t know.
Rafa the journalist 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
"From Gladiator to a Interviewer" Refreshing Rafa!
This man is so talented.
A true ATP champion. Rafa's very good too.
Turning masters into best of 3 finals LOWERED the masters.
Yes, I agree with Rafa…Win win formula….Rafa is so great in doing the interview and asking question….more like this Rafa…you look great!
Great interview with the best tennis player in the world ...
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The GOAT..❤️
Never seen rafa being the interviewer lmao
I remember he interviewed Christiano Ronaldo some years ago but yh definitely a rare occurrence 😂
Especially in English 😂😂
This is a conversation. Nobody interviews anybody
Great, that he engages in developing the sport in general and not only thinks about himself!

Rafa come to Wimbledon. If he can enjoy playing tennis safely with his ill foot then it's a no brainer, he should try for another Wimbledon title

"Rest without losing their RANKING"
Interesting choice of words here Rafa...
1. We need more ATP tournaments in other parts of the world, not just mostly Europe and US. 2. Make content more accessible and affordable. 3. Engage retired players/legends to promote the sport in different countries. 4. ATP players circles should include those ranked 200 and up. 5. Less hard courts. More grass.

Let's say you are right
but he did not create unity he wanted more intra-competition and more conflict
he is a terrible strategist

they can rethink surely wrt unusual circumstances - pandemic/war...and such out of control events...
Oh that's amazing so the plan is to make the top ranked rich players even richer?
How does that negatively affect you
Where did you get that from?

Yes by allowing players to retain points from 3 years back and punish the players
