3rd August:
Last weekend Vijay Singh won $864,000,
Andre Agassi $52,000, Kim Clijsters $93,000, Kimi Raikkonen heaven knows how
much, and Thierry Lincou $7,500. No wonder Amr Shabana cries "Almost
Famous" ... |

Amr Shabana, world number 5 and
2003 World Champion on how to become ...
Almost Famous
Become at least a top 5 player on the professional men’s circuit,
become number one in your country, win the Men’s World title in both
singles and team events ... this will ensure you a spot in the
ALMOST FAMOUS CLUB…
Being a top player on the tour really sucks.
The only way for it not to is to win every tournament on the tour,
big or small, whether it’s a $1,000 prize event, or a $100,000. Win every
single event on the tour, i.e. 50 events.
If you do that, and only if you do that, you will get (less
taxes and expenses) the sum of a quarter of a million!!!!
What the xxxxxxx!!!!!!!
That’s almost 100 times less than what any professional athlete
makes! Somebody needs to get the boot for that. The players do their
part, you’ve got some amazing players, each one does his job, on and
off court.
It’s hard value for money, it’s not fair, but we play anyway and
usually, we do everything we can to see this game go big like it
should.
And the Olympics???
That’s a whole different story…
