US Open mixed doubles: Draper/Pegula v Alcaraz/Raducanu and more live
Briefly

Doubles tennis is a skill-focused sport, and players develop specific skills necessary for success through a supportive system. This system has provided them with a means to earn a living. The decision to divert competition resources to wealthier individuals, such as suits and superstars, who lack the same level of skill in doubles tennis raises ethical concerns. This situation is seen as unfair since it undermines the integrity of the sport by prioritizing profit over player expertise.
Doubles tennis requires specific skills developed by players who have relied on this system to make a living. Confiscating this competition to benefit superstars feels unjust.
Handing money to suits and superstars who don't need it while disregarding the skills of doubles tennis players undermines the sport’s integrity.
