Tennis tournaments tra-la
2008 April 7
Spain’s Rafael Nadal is unhappy with this season’s tennis schedule, concertina’d between US college Basketball and the Olympics. Too many masters tournaments in too little time, he says. Fair enough, perhaps, but my question is: why are professional tennis players playing in the Olympics? I thought that the Olympics was about amateur sport? I know, it happens in hockey and cycling and lots of other sports. Same question: what does pro sport have to do with amateur sport?
