Interesting comments from Novak Djokovic about the state of tennis and how it relates to other sports. Didn’t realize tennis ranked so high in terms of participation and fans, but according to Djokovic, way down the list on growth and marketing.
Anyway, haven’t been able to find the PTPA study he refers to but other studies seem to cooberate his statement about tennis being a top 5 sport.
He’s got a point. Tennis has a low cost of entry but a lot of courts are being converted to pickle ball which may further limit access.
