RE: Going on Tour with Alessandro
Dear Alan:

I assume that this is not in the cards. So I will find another player who is interested in traveling with him on the tour and starting at the bottom, wild-card free zone.

I just like the old fashion way of winning your way through and not the welfare, entitlement, bail-out, 150 wild cards per player--lifetime guarantee, expenses paid, programs of the USTA, for our seemingly un-"American" acting players. Silly me to think this way. Funny enough the Pimp and Prostitute routine has been working pretty well here for a lifetime, much to the utter disgust of the rest of the players on the WORLD tour, producing free money for our American players, producing time and time again inflated cheap rankings, for our players and making them dependent little clones.

Definition of a tennis touring professional--your earnings exceed your expenses. At what point should this start? Immediately. How to do it? Cut down on expenses by playing in Eastern Europe, and kill two birds with one stone--you come up against the best up and coming players in the world, you are forced to beat them on red, Eastern European clay, and you save money on hotels (share pension and apartments with kitchens with other players) and food. And YOU did it on your own.

No welfare, just win, and if you do not win, practice harder, get fitter, get hungrier....or go home empty-handed.
