WTA Tournament Withdrawals In Focus
Why It’s Interesting: With some of the world’s top players withdrawing late, organizers are questioning whether mandatory events are being protected strongly enough. Dubai tournament director Salah Tahlak has called for ranking point deductions.
Gill’s Note: The WTA has severely overcrowded the calendar with mandatory events in the three months of the year, making the ATP schedule look like a cakewalk in comparison. Striving for 100% participation is a fool’s errand. The suggestion from Dubai’s Tournament Director is so utterly senseless it’s barely worthy of analysis

Hey everyone, Gill Gross here. While I’m grateful for any amount of success I’ve had talking tennis on the internet for the past half decade, I believe we should all be doing better in this sport as creators and as fans. The tennis content economy is far behind other sports by metrics of engagement and popularity. This newsletter is our effort to DRAW the great things we find in tennis every week- we search for content that teaches us, makes us think, makes us laugh and ultimately makes loving this sport the best possible experience. Our vision is to speed up the growth of a robust content economy in tennis, for the benefit of fans, players and creators alike.
