Tunisa, Egypt,...Gotta wave the BS Flag on this one. Tunisa, Egypt, Turkey have been holding ITF 15ks Womens and Mens with as large as 64 Qually and 32 MD matches for weeks. They have a Testing Protocol and if you look at the ITF calendar the "rest" of the world seems to have figured this out. Ad to that these countries have NO Slams.<br /><br />The USTA has no interest in Tennis below the Slam level. It is evident in the scheduling and the administration of the current events. For example when you play a ITF event in the US you have no access to practice once you are eliminated, so you travel 100s of miles maybe have a bad match and then they send you on their way.<br /><br />If the USTA cannot figure this out then maybe they should hire the TD in these countries who seem to have this wired. Wonder why we got 100 courts? Some places seem to figure this out with 8, YES 8 Courts.<br /><br />As for the cost/benefit? When you are the Federation the BENEFIT is what you live for! It is everything. Plus Florida is Open for business.SeminoleGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348591540345947462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-34988901187243743452021-04-29T19:10:55.062-04:002021-04-29T19:10:55.062-04:00Not exactly.
