I’m not big on Tennis, had it going on in the background, but I realized McEnroe was talking about a need for a player’s union just before he said he was being told over his earpiece to stop talking.

I’ve heard this new union is excluding women. Does anyone know anything about that?

Seems like a bad idea to exclude women, solidarity can only make you stronger.

Yes, it’s being run by Djokovic, who is an anti vaxx weirdo and generally opposed to the tennis women having qual prize money

Profesional tennis is so broken, if you are outside the top 400 in the wolrd there is a real chance that you are actually losing money by being in the pro tour with all the international travel and cost like a coach or a physical trainer, while there about 50 superstars that make millions a year from tournament prizes. I really hope they can form a succesful union.
