Tennis professional attacks Federer: “It’s all about the money for him”

Number 204 in the world rankings is calling for a restructuring of prize money in tennis. On the podcast Break point Harris attacked Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer: “They have been at the top for so long that they almost forget what it is like to be in the lower positions. It just doesn't affect them, so they're not as committed. Novak is most likely to advocate for transferring money to those at the bottom of the rankings.” The 26-year-old Andrew Harris dealt mightily. ©instagram

Harris criticized the Serb for not taking part in an important Zoom call that discussed the future of the tennis tour. This doesn't look exactly rosy. Above all, the effects of the controversial Adria Tour will have consequences for the coming months of the tour.

Harris was particularly harsh on Federer: “I know that Federer at the top is only after the money. He may say the things in public that people want to hear, like supporting redistribution for lower-ranked players. But when it comes to voting, he prefers to keep the money at the top.” The trenches are deep Federer, who will not play again this year due to a knee injury, is usually a player who enjoys a lot of recognition on the tour. But his great success probably also brings with it many envious people. According to that Forbes Magazine war the Swiss was the highest-earning athlete last year.

How deep the gaps are between the figureheads and players outside the top 100 can also be seen in the targeted tournaments. While the top players in particular expressed their skepticism about holding the US Open under difficult conditions, athletes from the lower regions of the rankings are urgently dependent on the income.
