Rafael Nadal will not be playing Acapulco this year due to his appearance fee being deemed too high, says tournament director Raul Zurutuza.

Nadal has featured in the Mexican event in three of the last four years, and only missed out in 2018 due to injury.

However, with costs rising due to having to run a bio-secure ‘bubble,’ coupled with the loss of ticket revenue, the world number two has been deemed too expensive to pay his reported $500,000-$1,000,000 appearance fee.

“The relationship with Carlos Costa (Nadal’s agent) is super good and things were very open, the reality is that there are no funds to pay [Nadal],” Zurutuza told Excelsior.

“Our budget for this year is super-mega limited, so we decided to invest that money in bringing who we could bring,” he commented.

Despite Nadal not making his usual appearance, Acapulco will not be short on big names, with Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Diego Schwartzman currently scheduled to play.

“We already had a contract signed with Zverev and it was more expensive to cancel it than to pay him,” Zurutuza added.

“And the other players, the four or five that we invited with an appearance fee have put the batteries… their financial demands are substantially lower than what they normally do.”

Poznato je da Zverev trazi poprilicno para da bi igrao na tim manjim turnirima, zato ni ne igra u Stutgartu jer ovi ne mogu da ga plate.

Da, zaboravila sam da je bilo priče o tome ranije.

Nekako sam skeptična oko efikasne organizacije mehura u Meksiku, ali da vidimo...

Pa sta znam. Ako se ne varam republikanski senator Ted Kruz je sad pre koji dan bio na odmoru u Meksiku, ocigledno je za odredjene slojeve sve moguce.

 

A Zverev je "buducnost tenisa", "it's his time"  :whistling:

Meni ovo izgleda kao da Rafa nema nikakvu nameru da igra pre šljake, kad bi nameravao da igra Majami valjda bi mu trebao neki pripremni turnir.

A svi teniseri da budu zadovoljni da dobijaju priliku da igraju tenis, dok se ostali ljudi muče u svojim životima u vreme pandemije :classic_rolleyes:

Zverev is very firmly established as the top German singles player now, and he knows hopes rest with him to bring tennis success back to the country. That, he insists, is a strong motivation right now.

“[I would like to] make tennis more popular in Germany,” he added.

Sutra ustani rano, igra od 8h protiv Popirina i volume na max :classic_biggrin:

 

Gofan pobedio Sonega sa 2:0, ono sto sam danas gledala, izgledao je mnogo bolje nego u 1.kolu, mozda i najbolje u poslednjih nekoliko meseci

U subotu u 8 ni za Đokovića ne ustajem :lol_2: ali možda oduže dovoljno :classic_biggrin:

 

Kako je krenulo počeću još da navijam za ovog Gerasimova.
