The lifetime of the players outside the top 100 in the world

Jannik Sinner, Wimbledon 2025 champion, left the tournament with a bonus of $ 4 million. But no need to sit on the throne of All England Club is the financial winner. For players eliminated in the first round and also a group that holds low hierarchy, the amount of $ 90,000 is still the whole fortune. The bonus fund as well as the participants are limited, while the number of registered athletes is many times larger. For most players outside the top 100 world, the reality is extremely harsh when it alone to ensure breakeven spending after each week is also a difficult challenge.

Taro Daniel understands that. Currently mainly around 150 world positions, Japanese players have experienced many ups and downs in their career lasting over a decade. Daniel's peak in Grand Slam is the victory that defeated Andy Murray to enter the third round of Australia expansion of 2022, helping him pocket nearly 150,000 USD for a working week.

However, that check could not make Daniel change the lifestyle to frugally on the tour. Like many players of the same level and hierarchy, Daniel spends most of the year in the hotel rooms rented and even has to spend eating, even though nutrition is the most important thing for today's athletes. They tried their best on the field, and the results were mainly failed. Losing more than winning, that is, the bonus is less, and the bank account is gradually missing after every week.

"When I was young, I didn't even dare to order more butter in the menu because I had to spend 3 USD ," Daniel said. "But when trying to save too much, it negatively affects the quality of the work ".

in the first 6 months of this year, Daniel earned about 180,000 USD, but the competition cost was "swallowed" this amount in the blink. I didn't say it was fake, but it was almost not much left. First, you make money abroad, so they calculate taxes and minus the small amount of money " The player went alone to the tournament, because the level was not too high at that time. Bonus. 2}

"So a season, you have to spend $ 100,000 for the coach, and that is not an experienced person or the top ," Daniel added. Statistics are full of costs for hotels, food, air tickets, but not the salary I pay to your team. You are like running a small company, only when it is a player, the staff moves with you full time ".

The limited economy makes many players cautious with the spirit of consideration at the schedule of the competition. Can change quickly due to dependence on results. Therefore, the player often has to book a plane ticket at the last minute, resulting in a sharp increase. In addition, players often carry two more people, such as coaches and physical therapy experts, and then charge extra due to oversized luggage to hold rackets and other utensils. Overall, such a US domestic flight costs about 2,000 USD. One -way! ".

Former 58 in the world is not the only person who pressure on moving. Dustin Brown was famous for traveling and sleeping on camping cars in the three seasons at the beginning of his career. Last year, Billy Harris emerged not only thanks to the quarter -finals of Queen’s Club Championships, but also by the UK that was more inspired by the UK to use the European vehicle to use the European cars, to use the European cars to use the car, to use the European cars to use the European car, to use the European cars to use the European car, to use the European car to play the car, to use the European vehicle to use the Europe, to use the European vehicle, to use the European vehicle, to use the European vehicle, to use the European vehicle to use the Europe, to use the European cars to use the European vehicle. ITF and Challenger.

At the age of 32, the financial burden has been somewhat reduced to Daniel. The Japanese player has accumulated relatively stable bank balance so that he does not have to worry about a week of poor quality competition. However, young tennis players in addition to the top 100 also have a long journey to reach economic comfort. "I see that solution is reasonable. Each organization spends about 8-10 million USD, that is not the impossible number ".
