Despite ATP’s Grand Plans, Canadian Tennis Star Milos Raonic Draws Golf Comparison to Reveal a Bitter Truth -‘PGA Is Much Stronger’

In the world of tennis, something big is cooking. When we talk about tennis, we mostly imagine a format that dates 30-40 years back. On the other hand, that hasn’t been the case with other sports. This has apparently left tennis a long way behind as compared to other sports like Golf. However, recent developments suggest that tennis is on the brink of a huge revolution that would see major changes in the format of the game and Milos Raonic, the Canadian legend did not shy away from sparking his views on it.

Talking about the same, Milos Raonic in an interview, shared his opinion on the upcoming changes. Not only this, he also drew parallels with golf while suggesting why it is much better than the ATP at the moment.

Milos Raonic gives his take on the ATP’s big moves and the LIV Golf reminder

In a recent revelation, Milos Raonic shared his thoughts on the ATP’s big plans for tennis, comparing them to the LIV Golf situation. He points out how the ATP, aware of the PGA’s financial strength, wants to avoid getting into costly fights. Raonic sees the PGA struggling despite having more money, hinting that clashes drain resources and harm reputation.

“To me, it seems like an effort to appease. Everybody thought the drama with LIV golf and the PGA was kind of going to come to a much more simmering heat through the summer after that potential merger was announced. I think the way it works is the PGA is much stronger than the ATP,” said Raonic in the interview.

“I think they’ve had much more monetary success. I think they probably have much stronger treasury balance sheets and so forth. And you saw even with all that strength that it couldn’t compete, right, all those legal fees were eating up all through their treasury. So I think the ATP is aware of that in many way,.” he further added

He suggested that the ATP should play smart and avoid public battles that might hurt tennis in the long run. Instead, Raonic believes they should work internally to handle changes without causing chaos. His main point? The ATP needs a thoughtful game plan to avoid the troubles seen in other sports. It’s about finding a strategy that strengthens tennis without risking its harmony and reputation.

That being said, what are the possible changes that tennis can undergo? At the moment, it seems like there might be a change in the way people look at the Grand Slams and much more.

What are the major changes that could happen in tennis?

It has recently come to light that tennis can undergo major changes. Starting from the first, all the major grand slams have joined together to propose a proper league tour just like it is done in FI. It will increase more intensity as it will bridge the gap between the Masters and the Grand Slams. Working on the same, some major officials were recently in Turin to get a blueprint and announce the changes as early as 2024.

Thus, tennis stands on the brink of a huge revolution that could see a great change in the dynamics of the game. What worked out for many years could completely change and a new system might be introduced that could eventually increase the excitement and change the dynamics of the game.
