Recently the boss of the ATP threw a stone in the pond as they say by explaining in a few words that the challenger circuit had no future, that it would never arouse the enthusiasm of the fans or the sponsors.
An affirmation that has sparked the powder on the tour and in particular with the players who are fighting on this circuit to climb the standings and also to live from their profession.
This statement is surprising on the part of Gaudenzi, especially since in his country this circuit is very dense and can attract crowds.
Indeed, this “league 2” allows future talents to flourish and alumni to continue their careers.
Economically, this “tour” manages to exist, or even to develop, as is the case in France, because it attracts certain sponsors who seek to reach a local target.
It’s not just the glitter of the Masters 1000 or the lodges of Indian Wells that make up the ATP Tour around the world.
Obviously, Andrea Gaudenzi who we remember was painfully 18th world does not remember it, it is a pity and it is especially ridiculous.
