Players that win lower Tier events don't have it that bad!

I often read how when a player wins a tournament it is sometimes refered to as "only a lower-tier event" as if it's not much to write home to Mom about.

Amy Frazier for instance, who just won the tourament in Tasmania, not only won $16,000 plus a somewhat cool looking trophy, but she also recieved a tennis pendant that I read was worth $10,000.

I mean wow not bad for a woman who travelled from Michigan to Australia to play tennis. And to top that off, she probably got a ton of other stuff that we don't even know about.

Not sure if all the tournments are like the one in Tasmania but damn I will think twice before listening to somebody dish the lower tier events.

Don't Forget Taxes, Son

And Are We Talking American Dollars Or Aussie?

Either Way, When Yuo Do The Math, Her Prize Money Don't Amount To Much

Conclusion: Not Worth It To Be Lower Skank Tennis Player

taxes off, that 16 K turns into about 10K, plus hotel fare, and promotional fees, and that is just one week. Last year, for instance, the ENTIRE TOP 100 earned at least 60-75K (not sure exactly.) That's some serious cash, if you ask me.

i dun think anyone is complaining inside the top 100, but that only constitute about 10-15% of people who are actually trying to make a living out of playing tennis full time.

Still not a bad day at the offices, taxes or not.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. $10,000 to a lot of people is serious cash for a week's work. As I've said before, anyone among the top 100 -- and maybe even lower -- rankings on the professional tennis tours are more successful in their professional lives than I would wager 99.99 percent of us posting on this board are. Amy Frazier has made bucket loads of money throughout her career and would never have to work again if she chose not to -- once she retires. Meanwhile, I know several challenger players who make a decent living -- meaning they cover their expenses and sometimes have a little left over and get to travel the world in the process. For most people in the world, that's succeeding! I guess the question players have to ask themselves is, "What is it worth and what does it all mean to me." I would think that a Kristina Brandi, for example, would think it was worth a lot when the experience is over.
