Hundred of lower-ranked tennis players are struggling to make a living during the coronavirus shut down as they depend solely on the tournament earnings to make ends meet. Subsequently, a debate is raging on about how to best help these players. Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli has a surprising solution to do exactly that.


Earlier, World No.1 Novak Djokovic, along with the seven governing bodies of tennis ATP, WTA, ITF, and the boards of four Grand Slams, planned a Player Relief Fund to financially help the players in the lower-echelons. Bartoli, however, has a different idea.Marion suggested diverting prize-money from doubles event of lower-level tournaments. She asserted that doubles competition should only be held at the Olympics and Grand Slams. The doubles events’ prize money from the rest should go towards helping the players in need.
