When you see Novak or Rafa play a qualifier ranked in the hundreds in the first round of a major it’s equivalent to Man United playing a semi-pro team from Kentucky in terms of financial resources. Novak and Rafa certainly have earned the money to pay for coaches, fitness trainers, chefs, and materials to maximize their talents. They fly private jets to tournaments, while the qualifier likely had to take a connecting flight through Des Moines, Iowa, and may have had to battle with the airline to locate lost luggage. The disparity in terms of financial resources is massive and likely lost on the casual fan of tennis. I have a lot of respect for tennis pros, men and women, who grind it out on the lower circuits in pursuit of their dreams. It’s a tough gig for sure.
@@Кирилл-ш6п3шyea basically...they were really really good when they were young. Thats basically it. Young phenoms...showing so much potential big companies ride your coattails.
You should definitely open a channel membership option. I almost had a stroke hearing the amount of yearly expenses it takes to be a pro tennis player, and I know that me and many other ppl would be more than happy to help you fund your career though a membership on this amazing channel! I love your videos and hope that you will soon become an even more amazing tennis player and keep progress on your journey!
We should all just micro fund this guy hard for a year, call ourselves a sponsorship squad and see how far Simon gets. I support bro's honesty a lot more than some other player channels that do little more than troll for clicks and ad rev. I would support this guy.
Man it definitely isn't cheap being a pro tennis player but I really hope,that you continue to play for many more seasons and you can eventually crack the top 500/400 in singles and progress from there. We're all right behind you Simon rooting for you👍👍
Thanks for the video Simon, always appreciated. You can always go back and work later in life, but you can't go back and give pro tennis a shot. Enjoy it while it lasts!
I have been playing tennis since my teens, anm like 59yo now. Was nationally ranked D-3 in the days and still play pretty well. Never played at your level but attaining a world ranking at any level on the ATP tour is a huge accomplishment. You should be proud
Glad that you are showing the world how a true tennis gladiator as yourself lives. Keep pushing for the greatness that you have inside you, the passion. You won't regret what you are going through because you are giving all possibilities, sooner the universe will open the path you dream of. Hang in there!
wow! professional tennis financial reality hits me hard! I didn't know it was so expensive to go professional @.@. When I watched all the pros like Federer, Nadal, Soderling play. I feel like they just walk up to the court and perform lmao...... gosh how wrong I was. My gosh, the financial stress and also winning matches, can all affect you!. It shows you how mentally strong you need to be, and no matter how many matches you win or lose, you keep going. Kind of like life as well. Life will go up and down at times. But you just gotta keep on moving on. I support you man! I was so happy and hyped up when I saw you practicing with Robin Soderling. But thank you for sharing what you struggled with in becoming a professional tennis player. Take big risks/chances and see where that goes!
I feel like I have this window of pushing for my tennis dream right now, and I'm committed to try and do everything I can to give myself the best opportunity for this chapter of my life!! Then when this one ultimately closes, I guess we'll see where I end up ;)
great video, you did sugar coat it a bit but thats fine haha. most players on atp ranking are in minus at least 20 to 30 k eu per year on average . this almost always gets covered by parents who are only sponsors for most players. also this goes without taking in to account many years of trying which are also prime years of someones life . so spending 5 to 10 years trying to make it without gaining much is also an issue. many people see this as complaining but its just quality info , and thats always good. people need to know as much about the sport as possible and then its up to them to decide , is it worth it or not . because once u get going its hard to stop. about coaching after u retire : 99% of players never made any money and once they start coaching they need to make money. simple as that. so in a way its better to play as long as possible. bright side is things can always change for better. so yeah try u best.
@@DNA2000-8bit ty yeah , i can also ad many parents would gladly pay couple hundred k if they could get a guaranty that their kids will make it. thats such a fertile ground for coaches with good marketing. so yeah tennis is a mess inside out . not eazy by any means.
Thanks for sharing Simon. That’s really rough for pro tennis players outside of the top ranks, something has to change. Your job as a pro should be to get paid doing what you do not to PAY to do what your do even at that level. I wish you all the best
Simon man i hope and i’m looking forward to seeing your videos still in the future! Firstly it’s very entertaining but secondly it’s a huge inspiration for me because i am planing to go to the US to play College Tennis and you motivate me once more to put the work in to reach my dream! Thank you man❤️
thanks for vid giving an honest account of your financial situation. wish best of luck on your journey as an atp player. keep going, this channel deserves more subs.
keep going and live your dream, you will have time after to make the money and or get back to a lower ranking and get paid more. A young 18 year old college player had a nice run at the Newport Hall of Fame tournament in the USA and got to the finals, so keep pushing.
this video is so true, appreciated it. You're a very good player and as a person you seem even better. I hope you the best, and i wish to see you in Italy!
You are impressive ma man. You are handling so much at once and still able to be a top player.I used to say that I totally saw you as a top 200 player...now, I'm going to say at least top 50. A true inspiration and a true joy seeing you with your videos. Tennis is a hard game on its own and when you add all these variables it just takes it to another level. With full support and thanks so much for doing this video. I know that I started this whole thing, so thank you! M
@@Simon.Freund You bet. You've already done so much with your tennis. Hopefully people can see that this is far from simple. You need a serious external commitment financially to make it in this sport, in addition to an amazing level of talent with laser focus. Many have family help and sponsors, supporting them. Unfortunately in my day, my talent was not enough and things fell apart after a couple of injuries. Anyhow, taking myself out of this; I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that we are extremely proud of you. Cheers! M
Tennis needs more sponsorships from community clubs! Sponsoring local pros helps the sport grow and their club. Tennis needs more televised tournaments, & more betting opportunities, like the other big sports. Treat it like the other sports & athletes can start getting paid.
Hey Simon, Thanks for the breakdown. I had seen somewhere else a breakdown for Noah Rubin where I believe his annual costs were something like $120,000. This is where you're 100% right about the coaching costs; this is where the majority of his expenses were (coaching in his case included not only pure coaching, but also court hire and hitting partners). He got up to about #125 in the world, and his prizemoney was around $150,000 in that year. I personally think the prizemoney is a scandal. It's way too low given the skills involved. Many of you guys have trained for 15 years to get where you are. That's longer than a lot of doctors and lawyers, and look at what they get paid.
@@unknownentiti2351 The point of that was the RELATIVE remuneration for work. Look at other sports. What do you think the worlds #125th best soccer player gets? If you looked JUST at the English Premier League, players are getting £100,000 a week (some get a lot more than that). Look at American sports like NFL, NBA, MLS, NHL, MLB. Players here get paid huge sums. And that's just one country. There are strong leagues all over the world. Come on, stop being obstinate.
@@bigrobsydney Clubs sign offers with soccer players. even if they are not popular. This means that soccer players accept the contracts which they believe are a good investment. This means they are not just being paid by how much their team wins or how much they are sponsored. Tennis players, on the other hand, don't join clubs. They don't sign contracts with organizations; they simply get winnings by winning or getting sponsorships. And why have the world #125 sponsor your ad? That's no one special. In soccer, there are also different positions. This means that the world #5 best defensemen would, in actuality, be #15-20 if everyone played the same position. However, he is just being known as the #5th best defensemen, so clubs will higher them for their team.
Thanks for the video Simon. Your transparency is appreciated (and very rare). Also, I really like that RS shirt you are wearing in the video. I am going to track it down on the website. Wishing you continued luck in your professional career!
Great video, keep on going, I really do believe that you can make it on doubles circuit, you have a great feel for doubles and I can see you in top50 in the world with the right partner. Singles is a tough gig but good luck!
Thank you for sharing the information. I think you should not play doubles and focus on singles. If you play doubles it will affect your singles playing in a negative way. Make up your mind and wish you all the best.. God bless..
somehow it feels like youre the best advertising investment those sponsors made so much mental fortitude to keep grinding. keep going!! get that prize money up lol
I think you should try a series where people could pay for you to react and advise their tennis skills from their own matches and highlights videos. It would probably be a nice bit of income and wouldn’t take much time….
I wandered in the "futures" wilderness for 4-5 years. I only have 1 (only 1!) Challenger appearance to my name. Luckily, my parents funded 90% of my expenses. I cannot imagine self-funding during an era of huge inflation. In retrospect, I wouldve joined a prestige level academy and monetized my game in a more consistent/professional manner. Note: you have a superb game, but your racket acceleration/ split-step/ etc variety needs to mirror your practice sessions. The Jannik Sinner hit-around illustrates your skill level, which is significant. I would've gladly traded my 1-dimensional serve-forehand game for your all-around game. You're healthy right now. Lets kill it!! 💪

Hi Damian, I just averaged it out to about €1000/Tournament week for travel to/from + accommodation, food and other expenses (stringing etc). Hope that helps! 👊
It’s great you have a college degree. I mean there’s a small window in life to be young enough to play professionally. Then you’re still young and have to reinvent yourself.

We're all right behind you Simon rooting for you👍👍
Every sport is expensive when you do it competitively. Even video gamers who participate on pro tours have insane expenses.
Djokovic was the only guy from big 3 to fight for more money across the whole ATP but for some reason, western media marked him as the bad guy.
Hi, remember you in São Brás de Alportel, Algarve, Portugal Tournament! Great to see you playing!
Thanks for the video Simon, always appreciated. You can always go back and work later in life, but you can't go back and give pro tennis a shot. Enjoy it while it lasts!
This is exactly why i was never able to chase the ATP tour even when i was 1 of the more hyped north American highschool prospects in 2014
I have been playing tennis since my teens, anm like 59yo now. Was nationally ranked D-3 in the days and still play pretty well. Never played at your level but attaining a world ranking at any level on the ATP tour is a huge accomplishment. You should be proud

You won't regret what you are going through because you are giving all possibilities, sooner the universe will open the path you dream of. Hang in there!
But hes also playing in the graveyard. That is what my coach used to call it if you are not playing in the top tiers.
These are the types of videos I like. I want to know about the unrealistic costs of being a tennis player.
All the best to you. Hats off to all pros that are pursuing their dreams despite the challenges.
Amazing video! I was watching it as I am working on a short documentary about the struggles of Pro Tennis Athletes. Anyway, Thanks for sharing!

What's your exit plan if you have one? And what kind of job would you apply for if you could not play tennis tomorrow?
See Simon’s pinned comment
He could get money from a bank and start a smaller tennis academy
I feel like I have this window of pushing for my tennis dream right now, and I'm committed to try and do everything I can to give myself the best opportunity for this chapter of my life!! Then when this one ultimately closes, I guess we'll see where I end up ;)

Come to California, private lesson can be $150.00/hr to $300/hr.
It’s great you have a college degree. I mean there’s a small window in life to be young enough to play professionally. Then you’re still young and have to reinvent yourself.
How are you not getting rackets free if you're an ATP player? Crazy. Also 3k per year in tennis clothing seems a bit excessive to me..
