The first phase of IPTL tickets were sold out within 20 minutes of sale which in itself proves how the event was a great success in its very first year. However, it has come at a large price. Apparently Gasquet decided not to play as his compensation would have been much lower than Tsonga’s “For me there was [only]250K dollars” he said “There wasn’t 1 million dollars like for Tsonga. I felt like I needed time to rest” We just wonder how much money made the likes of Federer, Djokovic, Sharapova and Serena. 250K dollars for 3 weeks work isn’t bad! 

“There wasn’t 1 million dollars like for Tsonga. I felt like I needed time to
rest”
