“If I could start my life over again, I wouldn’t play tennis again.“This has been one of the statements that he has made Maxime Janvier, number 225 in the world, in the newspaper ‘L’équipe’, after qualifying for the first time to the final table of Wimbledon at 27 years old.
January has analyzed how lonely his sport is and the difference in treatment between players. “There is a permanent lack of stability. You can be the 50th and the following year the 800th in the worldYou can’t take anything for granted and there is no protection. I don’t expect anything from this sport anymore. When I was younger, I loved tennis. Today, it seems very unfair to me.”
The French tennis player He is not the first to speak ill of his profession. He did it at the time too Andre Agassione of the greatest tennis players of all time. “I hate tennis, I hate him with a dark and secret passion, and I have always hated it“, he confessed in his autobiographical book.
A truth that he confessed to his partner, Steffi Grafone of the best tennis players in history. In front of the “I hate tennis” by Agassi, Graf answered: “And who doesn’t?” The lonely path of the tennis player, the pressure, the lack of geographical and financial stability and the distance at which the most loved ones are make tennis a very tough sport.

I only play for money, if not I would stop immediately“This ensured Alexander Bublikworld number 23, just a few months ago. A point of view that coincides with that of January.
Money keeps everything else going
“I don’t give it up for the prizes. It’s very hard, because a prize can make your life change completely in three months if you play well. If it weren’t for the financial aspect, I would have left a long time ago.“.
Other tennis players like Kyrgios o Pair They have also made public their hatred for tennis. The frustration, the defeats, the feeling of being alone and not being able to advance, and how difficult it is to get to the top turn this sport into a race to the bottom in which the goal is not assured.
