Who Pays For Tennis Players’ Hotel Accommodations?
Have you wondered who pays for the loading costs of tennis players?
Main draw players get a complimentary double room (2 beds). The room must be occupied by the registered players. Some tournaments offer houses instead of hotel rooms.
Top players have a lot of staff – coaches, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. The tournament only pays for the player’s lodging, the players foot the bill for the staff.
