Turnieje ITF

[Rroggerr]

Wygrał Shapovalov.

Trzy futuresy (dwa po przejściu kwali) + połówka challengera przez 4 miesiące - chyba warto podkreślić, jak rzadko zdarza się (właściwie poza Gasquetem w ostatnich kilkunastu latach nie zdarza się) żeby tak młody chłopak z jednoręcznym backhandem robił tak dobre wyniki.

Technicznie i wizualnie to talent z trochę innej epoki i jakkolwiek może skończyć jak Dimitrow/jakiś Paire/Dancević, to ciężko nie robić sobie dużych nadziei - w obecnym tenisie takich ze świecą szukać.

[Widzu]

Brawo.

Marcus Willis ogarnął finał ITF-a w Shrewsbury. Tam wprawdzie przegrał, ale zawsze to jakiś wynik.

[flincior]

Bardziej mnie ucieszyło, że Altmaier wygrał w Szwajcarii. I singla, i debla. Powinien wreszcie agresywniej zaatakować challengery.

[Mario]

Tydzień temu był w półfinale Willis, czyli coś tam jeszcze próbuje.

Grek, chyba chwilowo, wrócił do pykania w ITF-ach. W tym tygodniu gra w Santa Margherita Di Pula 2.

Undergroundowego tenisa dawno nie śledziłem, więc do dziś nie byłem świadom, że taki Nils Langer męczy się w futuresach...

Qualifying draw size increased at ITF World Tennis Tour events

Spoiler:

The ITF has today announced that qualifying draws at ITF World Tennis Tour events will be increased from 24 players to 32, following an analysis of data gathered during the first eight weeks of the new Tour and feedback from players, coaches and National Associations.

The ITF’s mission is to support the entry of the best male and female players into professional tennis and deliver them to the top of the game. Changes which led to the introduction of the ITF World Tennis Tour in 2019 were supported by ATP and WTA and incorporated the 2018 Independent Review Panel’s recommendations on structural change that identified the need for a set number of professional players.

The ITF is confident that the benefits to tennis of the new Tour will be far-reaching and long-term – it will increase the number of nations hosting events and retain the sport’s global character, it will set a realistic pathway for the best talent in our game and allow more players to financially support themselves. The former structure catered for 14,000 players of which less than 600 could cover their basic costs; this model was unsustainable.

The ITF has made it clear from the outset that it will act promptly where it is apparent that improvements are required to benefit players and strengthen the Tour under its existing structure.

The ITF Men’s and Women’s Circuit Committees conducted a review of the existing data and concluded that an expansion of the qualifying draw to 32 would benefit players by increasing the number of playing opportunities, while allowing tournaments to remain within the desired seven days. Qualifying draws will now see eight players advancing to the main draw. The new qualifying draw size will come into effect from 1 April to allow enough time for players and tournament directors to make the necessary arrangements where practical.

The ITF World Tennis Tour was developed following an independent analysis of player and event for the period 2001-13 and a global survey undertaken by University of Kingston of more than 55,000 players, coaches, administrators and organisers. The independent analysis determined that wide-ranging change was necessary to address a number of issues, namely that there were 14,000 players competing in professional tennis events in 2013 and almost half of them earned no prize money and only approximately 250 women and 340 men broke even.

Executive Director of ITF Circuits Jackie Nesbitt said: “The ITF, ATP and WTA all agreed that the previous tour structure was not fit for purpose. The new ITF World Tennis Tour, which was developed based on extensive independent analysis, has been designed to address the issues that were identified and better support talented players to progress from the junior circuits into the professional game.

“As the only global organisation that, together with member nations, invests in the future of the tennis, the ITF can say with confidence that all decisions are taken based on what is best for the sport. Significant change is never easy, but significant change was necessary.

“Clearly, just eight weeks in to the new Tour, we need to be patient and gather more data evidence before we can make objective conclusions on its overall impact. However, we did note from the evidence and feedback we have so far that expanding qualifying draws to 32 players would fit within the existing structure of the Tour, while delivering greater opportunities for players; and we did not hesitate to make that adjustment.”

Sinner gra w ITF we Włoszech i znowu jest w finale.

[Barty]

Tylko w pierwszym meczu miał problemy Włoch, dalej poszło już gładko.
Czas przerzucić się wyłącznie na challengery i zobaczyć, co z tego wyjdzie.

[Rroggerr]

Musetti wygrał b2b futuresy w Turcji, jak się przebije to na ładne pokolenie trafili Włosi.

[DUN I LOVE]

Od 2020 pewnie na stałe wbije do CH. Wczoraj akurat oglądałem TB finału juniorskiego AO przeciwko Navie.

[Rroggerr]

Carlos Alcaraz (16 lat, 8 miesięcy) wygrał b2b dwa futuresy na kortach Rafa Nadal Academy w Manacor na starcie sezonu.

Symbolicznie, bo to największy hiszpański talent od czasów Rafy. Trzeci zawodowy tytuł - i to nie jest wielkie zaskoczenie, bo on już jako 14-latek wygrywał pierwsze mecze jako zawodowiec. Może coś z niego poważnego wyrosnąć.

Koronawirus. Tenis. Rozgrywki ATP zawieszone na sześć tygodni. Turnieje w Miami, Monte Carlo i Barcelonie odwołane

ITF także zdecydowała się zawiesić rozgrywanie imprez pod swoją egidą na najbliższe tygodnie. Bezpieczeństwo i zdrowie jest teraz dla organizatorów najważniejsze.

Międzynarodowa Federacja Tenisowa poinformowała, że w terminie do 20 kwietnia 2020 roku nie będzie organizować żadnych zawodów kobiecego i męskiego ITF World Tennis Tour, juniorów, seniorów, wózkarzy i tenisa na plaży.

Podobnie jak w przypadku ATP, wszystkie trwające w tym tygodniu turnieje ITF zostają zawieszone. Od piątku nie będą rozgrywane żadne mecze. Tenisistki i tenisiści powrócą do rywalizacji dopiero, gdy sytuacja w związku z groźnym koronawirusem ulegnie poprawie.

ITF ANNOUNCES CREATION OF ITF WORLD TENNIS TOUR PLAYER PANEL

Spoiler:

The International Tennis Federation has today announced the creation of the ITF World Tennis Tour Player Panel for athletes competing on the men’s and women’s ITF World Tennis Tour. The panel will provide a forum for players to provide their input and have their say on how the tour is run and will be a further opportunity for the ITF to engage with the player community.

Improving communication with players is an important part of the ITF2024 strategy. The ITF World Tennis Tour Player Panel is the most-recent player panel to be formed, with ITF player panels already in place to represent athletes on the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour (formed in 2018), the ITF Seniors circuit (2017) and ITF Beach Tennis Tour (2019).

The panel will advise and make recommendations to the ITF World Tennis Tour Committee, which in turn reports to the ITF Board of Directors.

The Men’s and Women’s tennis player communities will each elect a panel of seven current player members to represents its interests, together with an ITF-appointed Chair and an ITF-appointed coach.

Mark Woodforde, 17-time Grand Slam doubles champion, Gold & Silver Olympic medalist and former Davis Cup champion and Fed Cup coach for Australia, will chair the Men’s tennis panel. Mary Pierce, who won 4 Grand Slam, 18 WTA Singles and 10 WTA doubles titles and was a former Fed Cup player and finalist for France, will chair the Women’s tennis panel. In addition to their distinguished playing careers, Woodforde and Pierce serve as Athlete Representatives on the ITF Board of Directors.

Player members will vote, where voting is required, on each tour’s panel to make recommendations to the ITF World Tennis Tour Committee. The Chair and the Coach are non-voting members.

Panel members will be nominated and elected by players who compete on the men’s and women’s ITF World Tennis Tour. Men’s tennis players with an ATP singles or doubles ranking no higher than No. 351 and women’s tennis players with a WTA singles or doubles ranking no higher than No. 151 are eligible to nominate a fellow player or stand in the election. Further criteria have also been devised to ensure that players from all regions and at all ranking-levels are suitably represented.

David Haggerty, ITF president, said: “It is vital that the views of players are represented at all levels of the sport and across the globe. That is why we are establishing an ITF World Tennis Tour Player Panel to represent the interests and collective voice of athletes competing on the men’s and women’s ITF World Tennis Tour.

“We encourage tennis players to get involved with the player panel election process, this is an opportunity to contribute to making decisions for tennis through the exchange of knowledge, experience and ideas and to help shape the sport for future generations of players.”

The nomination period for the 2020-21 panel will open in May, with the outcome of the elections expected to be announced in the week of 15 June. The elected members will serve a term until the end of the 2021 season, and thereafter will sit for two-year terms.

Once elected, the panel will meet at least two times per year via video conference.

Mark Woodforde, chair of the men’s tennis panel and ITF Board athlete representative, said: “The ITF World Tennis Tour Player Panel will be a great place for players to come together and discuss the issues that matter most to them. It is essential that athletes have a significant voice in the running of the sport, and the formation of this panel gives the ITF the more opportunities to engage collaboratively with the player community.”

Mary Pierce, chair of the women’s tennis panel and ITF Board athlete representative, said: “There would be no tennis without the players, so it is vital that their voice is heard and that their views are considered when making decisions about how to run the Tour. As chair of the women’s tennis panel, I will ensure that the players’ views are relayed to both the ITF Board and ITF World Tennis Tour Committee, so that the players’ opinions are heard at every level.”
