Rafael Nadal has given his backing to Novak Djokovic’s plans for top tennis players to financially support those lower down the rankings. Djokovic proposed the TOP ATP players in the world contributing. The higher you are up the rankings, the more you pay in.
That money would then be given to lower-ranked players who are less able to secure profitable sponsorship deals. It is a system that has attracted a great deal of support.
“Different measures have been taken, and one of them is to create a fund for the one hundred best players in the world to contribute an amount of money to help the rest of the players, who are having a hard time and are experiencing difficult situations,” Nadal explained.
“This fund is to help the world of tennis in general, not just players. In difficult times you are forced to think about the one who are worse than you.”
