London, July 7: Doubles icons Bob and Mike Bryan say the ATP Tour should be expanding opportunities in the discipline instead of pushing for a reduction that they argue will cost jobs for young players.
The identical twins, who were inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame last year, responded to the ATP’s proposal on Tuesday ahead of playing in the invitational doubles event at Wimbledon.
The men’s tour wants to reduce prize money and tournament sizes for doubles starting in 2028. The proposal would give doubles players just 10% of the prize money at tournaments – down from 20% – while cutting the size of the doubles fields in half. (AP)
