Hey, for all those millions they're getting, we'd play too... wouldn't we?

Total men's prize money is only $372,500.

But then there's all the other goodies under the long term contracts... and that's where the real bucks lie...

No performance... no remuneration...

Only a few get the lucrative endorsements.

Even so, but do you want to be the only player in the industry, known for: I don't play when it's hot, period!

You'd be mercilessly teased by everyone... laughed at, disrespected... the players, the officials, the press and the public...

Still want?

Quote :: ‘‘This is too hot to play tennis,’’ Radwanska said

Quote :: The Sydney tournament has an Extreme Heat Policy, but it only comes into effect at the discretion of the tournament referee.

Tennis officials apply a complex formula factoring in heat, humidity and wind to determine when on-court conditions become too stressful for the players.

Easy solution, the players 'collude.' Why would millionaires choose to play in hideous, 'sweatshop' conditions if they could avoid it?

And the wimps are those who give a shit what anyone thinks.

LOL, sweatshops, eh?

Why? No play no pay! Contractual commitments... you wouldn't want your contract to be revoked because of non-performance...

LOL, everybody gives a shit, you included... Other people's opinion is also a fact of reality, hence one should be cognizant of it... it may be a life or death issue in some contexts... but I know what you mean...

You forgot about the clause that excuses me from playing in temps above 40 degrees.

Not in major tournaments, that's mandatory...

There's only four of them per year.
