Todd Larkham of Coachlife.com Coached Nick Kyrgios And Answers the King of Tennis Question

[Music] If You Were King of tennis is there anything you would do or change I love this question in the Shor reason I'm gonna go I'm gonna go the professional tennis okay route here the first thing I would do is combine the ATP and WTA tours I really believe we should have one tour I believe every time you O2 is better with a men's woman a men's and women's event better for the media better for the spectators better for the TV ratings better for the sport the the prize money the profit of the tournament Etc I really think the Grand Slams are doing it so well uh you leave the grand stands with the ITF but the atp2 and WW combines the other thing I hate in tennis is a ranking system I'd really like to change and make it like golf where you the top players have their card for the year January to November you play the full season if you finish top 80 in the world you retain your card if you're outside of that and you're in the bottom 20 you're relegated to the Challenger tour and you have to have a year on the Challenger tour and you got to get back in that would be what I would want to do I I really think you could still have two tournaments on a week you could still have a man's and woman's event in St Garden one in Istanbul for for example so he could still outside of the Master Series he could still have two or three events on at the same time but I still I think men's and womens every week together would be amazing also think a card would be amazing and you know end of season end of November start of November end of the tennis season give the players a rest give the fans a rest seven eight weeks uh and we start again and we go January to to November so that's my call whether he could bring the WTA and HB to dils would be tricky that's we push back and we say all right Todd now you're in charge I'm gonna have you call the ATP now you gotta make it happen right that's the hard part you look at Madrid you know I think every tournament you know sometimes a man man's tournament is is a fizzer and the woman step up sometimes the other way around you got both tournaments there you got the best players in both men's women's there's always great matches that you know Madrid all the men fell out but schwant and zalanka unbelievable final the woman held the tournament up there at the Aussie open this year is the man who held the tournament up but there's so many fans who want to see both when they go to a tournament so I really like to see an expansion of that in every single tournament men's and women's the best players in the world at the same venue [Music]
