i saw that article, the only comment of James I'm not so sure on is when he says: "....Maybe the wrong people are at the top of the sport." i assume he meant those in charge of deciding prize money allocation but it almost reads like he's having a winge and fed, rafa etc.

Ah, I see what you mean - but people would have to be determined to read it the wrong way to put the latter interpretation on it.

I dunno, the whole quote is:

Every time the money does increase, its just at the top end, the winner. Instead of [Swiss star Roger] Federer taking home $1 million, he takes home $2 million. It doesnt change the first-round prize money, which is a shame. Maybe the wrong people are at the top of the sport.

in which he describes Fed as at the top of the sport so i don't think you have to try and twist to too much.

An article about surviving on the Challenger/Futures circuits in the Canadian press - mentions Wardy (calls him 'outspoken', though he's just telling the truth!) and the Bogster.

Should there have been a link in there somewhere, Steven, or have I missed something? confuse

To me that is clearly directed at the games administrators - and many will agree with that point of view.

Vandenburg · Futures level

Great form by ward of recent, really happy for him.
