Was wondering about something today - how many Wimbledon players each year do you suppose qualify, lose their first match, and never qualify again? Is it sometimes 0? Is it 1 or 2? As many as 6 or 7 depending on the year? I'm genuinely curious.


Fantastic question. I'm gonna say roughly 5 per major.

This would go for all majors - are there any good books about the tier of professional tennis where players are on the satellite tours and the lives that this level of players lead while chasing their dreams? Kind of a "Bull Durham" but for pro tennis?


This absolutely needs to be done. If done right, it could be a fascinating read.

So, I've been busy and haven't been paying close attention. Has it just never stopped raining?

These days you can follow a lot of these dudes on IG. Sometimes they even post their checks for a few hundred bucks or whatever. Honestly I don’t know how most of them are able to keep doing it.
