You’re acting a bit entitled mate. The videos are brilliant and he clearly spends a lot of time on them. As someone else said he’s probably working as well. Just appreciate that he uploads them at all.
I was just thinking about you yesterday. “Man, it’s really been awhile since I watched a video from Cult Tennis. Did I actually subscribe, or just intend to?” Lo and behold today, I’m graced with another very interesting and informative video from you.
Company I work for used to provide the scoring and graphics for WTT. Crowd was actually pretty in to it in 2019, then covid hit and it all went downhill from there. The last year in 2021 it was at Indian Wells, a huge tennis venue, and the place was sadly barren. WTT went under again after that
Boise, Idaho used to have a team in the 90- early 2000s we had Andy Roddick and the Bryan Brothers on the same team. Pretty epic. At the end of the matches Dwayne Bryan (dad) and the brothers would put on a rock concert. Our venue was crap though, I was a ball kid and the players would always complain about lack of fans and the court. It was a blue mat placed on an ice hockey area surface.
Used to volunteer for the Washington Kastles who played home games inside GW's Smith Center. They had all kinds of talent, one of the Willaims sisters was the marquee player for big matches, a young Francis Tifoe who wore "Big Foe" on the back of his shirt, the number one ranked mixed double with Leander Paes and Martina Hingis. The name Kastles was the name of their owner Mark Ein who was CEO of Kastle systems. The last year it sucked because they moved to the roof of Union Market, and some matches were moved indoors when it rained, it only held 600 fans. They did win 4 WTT Titles in a row. Ein now runs the Mudocaway Citi Open tennis torment in DC every year and is a partner in the Washington Commanders ownership group.
This also happened in cricket at around the same time and although the rebel tournament folded, it was so successful that they literally invented a whole new format of the game just to bring the players back.
it’s really funny how often Americans come in to sports and try and ‘fix’ them but instead just walk all over why people already play and watch them, in the modern era I’d say F1 is probably the only exception, but that’s because they focused on marketing the sport that already existed first, before making big changes.
Rowdy, alcohol-infused, low intelligence, physical, cheap. These 5 traits of American sports love are why tennis as a whole won't ever reach the heights of other major sports in America. It's stupid, but so are a vast majority of sports fans in this country.
@@marcoaurelio4903 Most get it, but have short attention spans and want to be wowed every few minutes with something physically insane or with scores. This is why basketball and football fit the bill. Making the average American think is something they don't want to have to do,
They stayed under the radar so as not to get negative press, but the ATP Cup was viewed as sexist and exclusivist. Originally they planned on waiting till 2024 to unveil the new United Cup event (which replaced ATP Cup), but Craig Tiley and Tennis Australia decided instead to move forward with only 2-3 weeks of planning. United Cup was a TREMENDOUS success with record-breaking sales and attendance and viewership. I thought it was quite fun to watch. Only Nadal complained, because he lost both his matches and refused to play the mixed because he lacks humility and refused to play for the fans who paid to come see him play mixed doubles. I don't get how he gets away with it, he's such a nasty complainer, if he doesn't get his way, he threatens to boycott or quit (just like Madrid 2012, his comments about changing the year-end finals to clay, since he has never won it, etc. etc.)
I was reading on Chris Evert's wikipage that she bypassed the French Open a number of times to play this rubbish. Add that & the fact she didn't play the Australian Open much she could of possibly won 25 slams & be considered the GOAT.
I guess the 1.2 million dollars was too hard to decline. No point in complaining about it now. It's fair to say she possibly missed out on 3 more French Opens but she would have found Australia (then played on fast grass) a much tougher prospect.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's first sports franchise he owned was the World Team Tennis Boston Lobsters, which got their name because the Lob is the most powerful shot in tennis and Lobsters are a New England delicacy in almost all seafood restaurants in that region. His big name marquee player was Martina Navratilova. The matches were shown on HBO which used to show a lot of sports before ESPN started. He was making decent money but the other teams were going bankrupt so he paid off everyone, and it shut down and that incarnation of WTT Folded. He learned about sports ownership with the Lobsters which he uses today with the Pats.
I don't think even if more money was thrown at it, it would ever work. I mean, sometimes a single set goes to an hour, how do you finish a team match consisting of 4 players at least. Do you shorten what a set means, like, it is a mess.
I hate how my uni team plays this format instead of 6 singles and 6 doubles. So match day is always 1 men’s singles 1 women’s singles mixed doubles and men’s and women’s doubles
Women never have, nor ever will, compete with men in tennis on an equal footing. Riggs was nearly TWICE the age of King, who was playing in the PRIME of her career. Some even say Riggs threw the match to cover his own bets against himself. Every other "contest" between male and female tennis players were decided victories for the men.
This is a joke right, tennis is already one of the most popular sports? World Team Tennis may not have been successful, but Davis Cup is and has been for decades.
I'd love to watch your ITPL story but unfortunately when you advertise something people are interested in, then slap them with a paywall, they wont view it out of principle. Maybe dont advertise in a manner that drives customers away?
I agree with another poster that a twenty-nine-year-old woman in her prime, playing a fifty-five-year-old who had been retired for 20 years, was not a legitimate way to gauge women and men's sports. The word even back then was Riggs threw the match for a bigger payday. He had already beaten Margaret Court who is considered the greatest female tennis player ever. People are so stupid. A twenty-nine-year-old against a fifty-five-year-old, would be the equivalent of a twenty-nine-year-old against a nine-year-old. If that match was a true indicator of competition between men and women, why is there a ATP and WTA on the senior level the Challenger level and even the ITF keep the sexes separate. Dude you have a lot of knowledge about tennis tournaments excetera, but you do not understand the game itself. By the way, tennis in America is the highest when there are American male major champions. American female champions basically inspire American females. There hasn't been an American male major champion since Andy roddick in 2003. Although Serena, Venus, Sloane Stephens Sofia kenin and a few more American women have won majors, their victories have not moved the needle much when it comes to popularizing tennis in general here in America. Putting aside all of the politically correct emotional crap, this is a fact.
It's strange to me that the takeaway from a 29 year old Billie Jean King in her prime defeating a 55 year old Bobby Riggs who had been retired for more than a decade is supposed to be that women can compete equally with men
That wasnt the takeaway, the entire world stopped to watch that match. Both players were brought into the stadium in royal chairs. My dad even in india knew abt this match wer tennis isnt even popular. Attention is money, they wanted to milk men vs women or controversies.
@@jessg101 2:56 in the video, "Billy Jean had just shown that female tennis players could be just as good as, if not better than, a man on the opposite side of the court"
As for the popularity of tennis, its appeal has always been in the grace and beauty of the game; its sense of style, class and sophistication and its timeless elegance. The infusion of silly gimmicks, rock n roll music and an inane scoring system as a means to appeal to the masses, has, thankfully, failed.
Great video. Video idea: do a analysis/video on why and how did Djokovic managed to return to Australia and win the Australian open, even after he was supposedly banned for 3 years last year from the government. (Discuss PM Albanese and his decisions as to why he decided to allow him to come to Australia, his controversies/criticisms regarding to spending too much time at the Australian open rather then helping out alien springs) Like if you agree
She should pay the price of publicly being shamed for her role in this debacle. When she dies, the WTT should be the first 20 grafs of the story and then and only then should the obit praise her many accomplishments.
WTT was better off dead and buried. its concept was too USAmerican and did not arouse international interest. the men's and women's tours as they stand now, with the ATP and the WTA collaborating, are much better without WTT or any other tennis platform. besides, it smacked of self-interest on the part of BJK and her husband!!!
WE already have Davis Cup and Laver Cup that promote tennis as a team sport. If it needs to be done, do it with dignity and respect for tennis not just fanfare
How the hell did Blizzard not think about the travel cost(international btw) for the teams? Esports team doesn't make profits except for few, so they barely have money to pay staff and players, also wasting time traveling causing exhaustion instead of training and the biggest problem for city franchise is player transfer. I'm haven't watch Overwatch league but I know that teams rosters always change after a season, 1 main player leave = 16% of the team unlike football, American football or basketball but usually more than 1 player would be replaced and fans coming back just to see a weird squad that doesn't have the familiarity that the the city franchise team normally have which made the fans not attracted as before and bye bye revenue. I won't mention the meta problem because every game has different problems.
One has to wonder if ATP tennis would even be in good financial footing today if Fed didn't resurrect the sport. The entire sport was dying even then. Tennis is not a great spectators sport unless there are interesting talented players that have magic in their game. Right now, with Fed retired, what do you really have? Not much. There's not one player that I have to watch their every match. It's just not there. I might catch some youtube highlights sometimes but I just don't need to watch boring mechanized tennis over and over. And that's what you have now. Maybe in 10 years, you would do a video on the demise of the ATP.
Fed? I think Serena brought much more new viewership to all of tennis, not just women's. Fed has universal appeal, sure, but millions upon millions who would've never bothered watching or playing tennis started playing and watching obsessively because of Venus and Serena. Because their story was unrivaled.
Fed done well to make tennis exciting and got me into tennis for that reason. Now there are some interesting personalities and talents like Rublev, Zverev, Fritz, Ali Asim and even Kyrios who make tennis exciting and fun to watch for all ages. Women's tennis is as open as ever which makes it so exciting to watch.
Wait so folks didn't want to watch washed up pros and pro dropouts play tennis in a dumb goofy format where they throw tentacles for challenges....shocking.
tennis is not popular, its *major* events get a 1% share of sports viewership, compared to 30% for events like the Superbowl. That anyone thought WTT would succeed by turning tennis into a silly circus beggars belief. most people will never watch tennis, and most tennis fans will never care about Davis Cup, WTT, or the Olympics...and thank god for that. It is an individual sport, not an exercise in nationalist or group loyalties. The one partial exception is Laver Cup, which basically is a fun exhibition of individual matches with superficial "team" element. Cool video, thanks.
Only disliked for hearing nebula at the end... co-owned, aha, sure. I don't hear MKBHD talking about it anymore, must've thought it wasn't worth the time... You should do a video on Nebula's Rise and Fall.... :)))))
