Tennis United: How An Osaka Tweet Inspired Tsitsipas
Spoiler:
The 11th episode of Tennis United also features a Father's Day group chat and a De Minaur workout
Have you ever been intrigued by Stefanos Tsitsipas and Naomi Osaka’s interactions on social media? If so, this is the Tennis United episode for you!
Tsitsipas and Osaka joined co-hosts Vasek Pospisil and Bethanie Mattek-Sands on the show’s 11th episode to chat about the origins of their friendship and how they have developed an understanding of one another.
“I think it was February 2018,” Tsitsipas recalled.
“That’s very precise!” Osaka replied.

I’m done being shy. It’s really a waste of my time. I could’ve shared so many ideas by now, I could’ve had convos with so many different people. All the things I could’ve learned but no I’m over here actually putting my own limiter on myself.

In May, Osaka tweeted that, “I’m done being shy”, which Tsitsipas retweeted.
“I get it, and I saw a lot of realism and pragmatism to that. I thought to myself, ‘That’s really pure. That’s real,’” Tsitsipas said. “I would like to retweet it for the world to see because coming out of your shell and expressing yourself and just sharing your ideas and whatever you feel in that given moment, I found it quite inspiring, to be honest.”

Tsitsipas and Osaka later answer the big questions, like whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza.
Also in this episode, new fathers Mike Bryan, Jeremy Chardy, Marius Copil and Sam Querrey reflect on becoming a parent ahead of their first Father’s Day. WTA players Greet Minnen and Alison Van Uytvanck discuss their relationship during Pride Month, and Alex de Minaur does a Crossfit workout.

Tenis. Koronawirus. Novak Djoković ciągle waha się ws. gry w US Open. Serb nie akceptuje obowiązku kwarantanny
Cykl ATP Tour zostanie wznowiony 14 sierpnia turniejem w Waszyngtonie. Władze męskiego tenisa, aby zapewnić bezpieczeństwo tenisistom i wszystkim zaangażowanym w rozgrywanie imprez, opracowały protokół sanitarny. Dziennik "Marca" opublikował założenia dokumentu.
Przy pierwszym pojawieniu się na obiektach turniejowych tenisistom będzie mierzona temperatura ciała oraz zostaną poddani testowi na obecność koronawirusa w organizmach.
Testy na COVID-19 będą przeprowadzone co cztery dni. W przypadku pozytywnego wyniku, zakażony oraz wszyscy, z którymi miał kontakt, zostaną poddani kwarantannie. Następnie u tych osób codziennie będzie mierzona temperatura ciała oraz co dwa dni będą poddawani testom na koronawirusa.

Izolacji zostanie poddany także każdy zaangażowany w turniej (tenisista, członek sztabu szkoleniowego, sędzia i osoba z personelu turnieju), którego temperatura ciała będzie wyższa niż 37,8 stopni, oraz osoby wykazujące symptomy choroby.
Tenisiści będą mogli przyjechać na turniej z maksymalnie dwiema osoba towarzyszącymi. Mogą to być członkowie ich sztabów szkoleniowych bądź rodzina.
Z kolei na obiektach turniejowych będą mogli przebywać tylko tenisiści, osoby im towarzyszące, niezbędny personel turnieju, działacze z ramienia ATP oraz pracownicy agencji antydopingowej i antykorupcyjnej.
Te restrykcje na pewno będą obowiązywać podczas dwóch sierpniowych turniejów rangi ATP Tour, jakie zostaną rozegrane w USA - w Waszyngtonie (14-21 sierpnia) i w Nowym Jorku (22-28 sierpnia). W czasie wielkoszlemowego US Open (31 sierpnia - 13 września) tenisiści będą musieli stosować się do protokołu sanitarnego Amerykańskiej Federacji Tenisa (USTA).

Tenis. Novak Djoković zakażony koronawirusem!
Wielu tenisistów jest negatywnie nastawionych co do powrotu cyklu ATP Tour w sierpniu i rozgrywania turniejów pod reżimem sanitarnym. Jednocześnie gracze chętnie biorą udział w imprezach pokazowych. Jedna z nich, Adria Tour, została przedwcześnie zakończona po tym, jak Novak Djoković, Grigor Dimitrow, Borna Corić i Viktor Troicki uzyskali pozytywny wynik testu na obecność koronawirusa.
Do zachorowań odniósł się Andrea Gaudenzi. Przewodniczący ATP w rozmowie z "New York Times" porównał tenisistów do małych dzieci i zapowiedział, że na kanwie wydarzeń z Adria Tour może dojść do zmian w protokole sanitarnym ATP i Amerykańskiej Federacji Tenisa (USTA), która zorganizuje wielkoszlemowy US Open.
- Przykro nam z powodu tenisistów i życzymy im szybkiego powrotu do zdrowia. Pojawiły się krytyczne opinie, ale z drugiej strony teraz w ATP i USTA wiemy, że musimy być bardzo ostrożni, bo nawet podejmując wyjątkowe środki ostrożności, tenisiści mogą się zakazić. Gracze nie muszą się przytulać, aby zachorować. Dlatego wszyscy podejmujemy ryzyko - mówił Gaudenzi.

Odnosząc się bezpośrednio do zakażeń, Włoch stwierdził: - To trochę jak, gdy mówisz dzieciom, by założyły kask, kiedy uczą się jeździć na rowerze. Na początku odmawiają, a gdy spadną, to dopiero założą kask.
- Teraz wszyscy wiemy, że może to się wydarzyć bardzo łatwo, więc będziemy musieli być jeszcze bardziej ostrożni, a ludzie jeszcze bardziej tolerancyjni w sprawie protokołów sanitarnych - podkreślił.
Gaudenzi zaapelował również, by tenisiści dbali o zdrowie i stosowali się do zasad bezpieczeństwa oraz dystansu społecznego.

Gaudenzi: Agility & Efficiency Needed In COVID-19 Year
Spoiler:
ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi discusses resumption of the ATP Tour, revised 2020 calendar
ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi discusses how tennis stakeholders are collaborating for a safe return to play following the suspension of the Tour since March. The Italian also talks about the Tour structure, future opportunities and how tennis can emerge stronger from the pandemic.
The world of tennis has been through a lot recently, including the announcement of the revised calendar from August. Could you explain how some of these major decisions are made at the ATP and across tennis? What are some of the difficulties involved in the process?
Firstly, it’s important to outline the structure we have in place at the ATP, which is fairly unique in sport. The ATP is an equal partnership between players and tournaments, and that’s reflected in our core governance structure.
At the top, we have the ATP Board of Directors which is responsible for the main decision-making on the Tour. The Board consists of seven people: three Tournament Representatives and three Player Representatives, and myself as ATP Chairman. Essentially, it’s a 50-50 representation reflecting the equal partnership between players and tournaments that embodies the ATP. While each Board member is elected by their stakeholders, they have a fiduciary duty to do what is right for the Tour overall.
Beneath the Board you have the Player and Tournament Councils, elected by their constituents to represent the wider interests of the players and tournaments, respectively.
Overall, it’s a very democratic ‘pyramid’-style structure. The challenges inevitably arise due to the vast array of differing views and perspectives not only on the player side, but also with tournaments. A 20-year-old player ranked in the Top 200 will likely have very different priorities to a 30-year-old ranked in the Top 20 or doubles player ranked 80. Equally, on the tournament side, the financials of an ATP 250 tournament are very different to a Masters 1000.
So, the challenge in our system really comes from the hugely disparate points of views that we have to consider in our decision-making. While it is essential that we listen to everybody’s views, the reality is that consensus can be hard to come by. We cannot cater to individual interests and the Board must do what we believe is right for the sport overall, which ultimately, I strongly believe it is in the best interest of both players and tournaments. And we cannot simply look at matters through the lens of tournaments and players – but also our sponsors, media partners, and most importantly from the fan perspective. We must remember that the fans are the ones driving the commercial success of the sport across on-site attendance, TV viewership, and as the target audience for our sponsors.
Inevitably there are difficult decisions to be made and we cannot make everybody happy. Also keep in mind that we must also work collaboratively with the WTA, ITF and Grand Slams, especially in navigating the current crisis and finding solutions for tennis to return safely. This collaboration around complex issues is now more important than ever in order for us to grow the sport to a different level.
When balancing varied interests in decision making, what is ATP’s overall goal and priority?
Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus, our number one priority has been protecting health. This always has been and always will be the factor that most informs how and when tennis is able to resume and we make no decisions without consulting relevant medical experts. We have robust and exhaustive protocols in place to be implemented at ATP events in order to mitigate risks of infection but we must also be realistic that it is not possible to remove all risk.
After health, our primary goal is to pursue the greater good for our sport, and to try to salvage as much of the season as we can in terms of playing opportunities, ranking points, prize money, and delivering our sport for the fans who are eager to see tennis again.
We realise that the resumption of the calendar is not perfect by any means – we would love to have more events and more playing opportunities, and more space between our marquee events to ease player scheduling. The reality is that the economic impact of the crisis has meant that tournaments further down the pyramid are less able to weather the storm than those at the top. But does that mean we should hold back the whole Tour until the situation is fully back to normal? Our judgment was that we need to start somewhere and if we have tournaments at the top level that are able to run, and in a safe environment, providing earning opportunities not only for players but for the whole industry, well that’s a start.
The way in which we make this return balanced and fair for all, in terms of playing opportunities, including the Challenger Tour, prize money, the FedEx ATP Rankings, travel, is something that we will continue to work on.
In the long term, I am optimistic that with the preventative measures developed and the unity shown by tennis’ stakeholders, tennis will be back stronger than ever and will continue to grow for years to come.
ATP Chairman <a href='/en/players/andrea-gaudenzi/g254/overview'>Andrea Gaudenzi</a>
Andrea Gaudenzi began serving as ATP Chairman on 1 January, 2020.
Regarding the ATP Tour resumption, which stakeholders were involved in decision-making?
It’s been a long process over many months that has resulted in a completely revised calendar under new terms. We’ve had to be agile and creative, and the process has involved compromise and concessions on all sides. The Board and the Councils have been a key part of that process. We also had group calls with all tournaments and all players.
And just as importantly, our decisions were made in close collaboration with WTA, USTA, FFT and ITF. There were many moving parts to finding a revised schedule that fitted around dates, venue availability, health and safety, and travel restrictions amongst other considerations. What we have is a workable schedule that salvages as many events and earning opportunities as possible and I want to thank everyone involved for their efforts. Much work lies ahead and we continue to monitor global travel restrictions with player access in mind while final decisions ultimately rest in the hands of local governments, keeping in mind the situation related to Covid-19 is continually evolving.
In general terms, a time of crisis like this accentuates the need for a nimble and fast decision-making process. And while the Board is responsible for setting the overall strategic direction of the Tour, the management needs to be empowered to take day-to-day decisions if we want to run the business professionally. One of the things I’ve learnt in my years working in start-ups is that ‘done is better than perfect’. Decisions have to be taken and it won’t necessarily be perfect – but it’s better than waiting for a perfect solution that will never come as you watch others pass you by.
Do you think the circumstances around the ATP Tour’s resumption in August creates a fair playing field?
One of the great things about our sport is that it is truly global and meritocratic, based off ranking. We all know how important the FedEx ATP Rankings are – it’s the fabric that essentially ties the whole Tour together.
The impact of the pandemic challenges the essence of our Tour on many fronts – not only economically, but in terms of travel restrictions, quarantine etc. For a truly global Tour like ours that involves so much international travel, it’s very challenging.
It’s not going to be perfect from the outset and it will take some time but it’s something we will continue to work on and try and ensure as fair and balanced outcome for everyone involved in terms of playing opportunities, prize money and the fairest way possible for the rankings to resume.
How fair are the concerns within tennis around the circumstances of resumption, including which events have been rescheduled, FedEx ATP Ranking points, restrictions on player entourages etc.?
I think it’s natural for there to be a level of concern. The global situation with COVID-19 is rapidly developing and that presents a lot of unknowns.
I believe our precautions and protocols are well informed and under the current plans, some of the biggest ATP events in our sport should still be able to be staged safely despite the circumstances.
In the end though, we can have the most robust plans in place but collaboration and approval from local governments will be key, and we’ll continue to monitor international travel restrictions as the situation evolves weekly.
Some groups have expressed some frustration at not being more involved or aware of decisions. How effectively do you feel major decisions have been communicated?
We do our best to communicate decisions in an effective and timely way, keeping in mind that there are constraints and confidentiality requirements that must be respected in certain situations. In today’s world of social media, information spreads very quickly. That can be both an opportunity and a challenge at the same time.
At a certain point though, in order for a business to be run effectively, you cannot consult each player or tournament member on every item. While we would love to be as inclusive as possible, it is simply not scalable to micro-manage in that way. We would be extremely inefficient and we are simply not set up that way as a business; no organisation is. That’s where our governance structure needs to come into play, with the Councils and the Board, who are elected to represent their constituents, which is key to allowing us to be nimble.
How well do you feel the structure is working in terms of the having the vast array of stakeholders represented?
Any player or tournament representative on the Board or Councils should be held accountable via the election process we have in place - they have to be fully empowered and in the end, they can be voted in or out. And the same applies for my role as ATP Chairman.
A separate question is whether the ATP governance structure needs to be tweaked or modernised in any way. You can have the best governance structure in place but in the end the structure relies on the people and interpretation from stakeholders in order for it to work effectively. We’ll continue to assess if any adjustments need to be made there.
Separately the question of a broader governance structure that incorporates WTA, ITF and the Grand Slams is something that should be addressed for the benefit of the whole sport.
There have been a lot of questions over the income distribution in tennis and how to make the lower levels more viable. What is your view on that and how can it be addressed?
If you look at the numbers, total prize money across the ATP Tour, Challenger Tour and Grand Slams has more than doubled between 2009 and 2019, reaching more than US$270 million last year. And the biggest annual percentage increases have been directed towards the qualifying and early rounds in an effort to spread prize money to more players. So there have been some impressive increases in recent years.
Can we be doing better as a sport? I believe so, otherwise I would not have taken this role. For me the question is how can the sport come together and collaborate in a meaningful way that will raise the bar for everyone. Related to that, we must ask if the distribution of prize money is working as designed for what we are trying to achieve as a sport.
We have a strategic plan in motion which hopes to address these areas. The focus, first and foremost, is on growing the whole pie for the entire sport but also ensuring redistribution down through the tennis ecosystem all the way through to the Challenger Tour, which is required if we want a healthy sport that is appealing as a viable career path.
What are your predictions for the sport of tennis as it returns post COVID?
I think this pandemic has shown that tennis is stronger when we all work together and empower the respective boards, not only in the decision-making but right through to presenting a unified front as a sport. Tennis has enormous potential when its stakeholders work together and there will be a lot of upside if we can continue in that direction.
Separately, our sport’s business model has always relied strongly on ticketing revenues, particularly in comparison to some other sports. Having seen how difficult it has been for tournaments to be economically viable with reduced or no fans on-site, the pandemic has accentuated that reliance on on-site attendance. It shows more than ever that we need to look at our operations and ensure we’re investing in the right areas that have the most potential, particularly in technology, media and data, where I believe we have a lot of room for growth.
There is a lot of work ahead as we look to get the Tour back up and running, but I’m optimistic about the long-term prospects of our sport if we continue to stay united and work together.

Throughout the episode, Canadians drop in to roast Pospisil in celebration of his 30th birthday, which was Tuesday. One of the roasters is former doubles World No. 1 Daniel Nestor.
“Exciting times, man. I guess this is where I’m supposed to say I miss you, which I really don’t,” Nestor says. "All those matches we played you [were] butchering all those volleys on top of the net!"

Tenis. Menedżer Dominika Thiema krytykuje Novaka Djokovicia. "To on jako jedyny powinien przeprosić"
30-letni Tomislav Brkić występował w ostatnich tygodniach w pokazowym turnieju Eastern European Championship (mistrzostwach Europy Wschodniej). Jego organizatorem była akademia Janko Tipsarevicia, ale samo zakażenie niekoniecznie musiało mieć miejsce na kortach.
- Nie miałem żadnych objawów, byłem trochę słaby. Przeważnie gram w debla, a w Belgradzie rywalizowałem w singlu. Pierwszy mecz był bardzo długi, trwał trzy godziny. Pewnej nocy poczułem się zmęczony, odwołałem pojedynek i musiałem wrócić do domu. W Mostarze poproszono mnie o zrobienie testu, a jego wynik okazał się pozytywny - powiedział Brkić w rozmowie dla Sport Klubu.
- Byłem w Belgradzie przez dwa tygodnie, nie tylko na turnieju tenisowym, który był dobrze zorganizowany. Każdemu, kto miał ze mną kontakt, powiedziałem, żeby się przetestował - dodał Bośniak, który w ostatnich latach pełnił funkcję grającego kapitana w drużynie narodowej rywalizującej w Pucharze Davisa.
Organizujący Eastern European Championship Janko Tipsarević wyznał, że bezpieczeństwo graczy jest dla niego priorytetem. Na trybunach nie dochodzi do sytuacji z Adria Tour, podczas którego kibice nie zachowali dystansu, a tenisiści bawili się razem z nimi. - Jeśli ktokolwiek musi zostać przetestowany lub nie czuje się najlepiej, to zabieramy go z turnieju do specjalnego ambulansu - wyznał były ósmy zawodnik świata, który sam został już sprawdzony kilka razy.

Maple Syrup on Pizza? Tsitsipas Calls Double Fault!
Spoiler:
Tsitsipas and Osaka answer some tough questions on Tennis United
On a recent episode of Tennis United, co-host Vasek Pospisil revealed that he enjoys maple syrup on his pizza crust. Reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion Stefanos Tsitsipas was firm in his disagreement.
“That’s a double fault!”
Tsitsipas and WTA star Naomi Osaka answered a series of questions during the segment, including: Does pineapple belong on pizza?
“I’m going to disagree. I’m going to say yes and the only reason I think yes is because people love it,” Pospisil said.

Tsitsipas and Osaka answered various questions throughout the segment, including: If you’re bored, are you boring? If your food is bad at a restaurant, would you say something? What are you most likely to stay up all night thinking about?
“It’s all about tennis,” Tsitsipas said. “Just thinking about tennis. If I lose that day, I might stay up. I’ve had nights where I stayed up all night and I was just overthinking and processing what happened out there.”
Tsitsipas also explained why something Osaka tweeted in May — “I’m done being shy” — inspired him.
“I get it, and I saw a lot of realism and pragmatism to that. I thought to myself, ‘That’s really pure. That’s real,’” Tsitsipas said. “I would like to retweet it for the world to see because coming out of your shell and expressing yourself and just sharing your ideas and whatever you feel in that given moment, I found it quite inspiring, to be honest.”
