Match Point

Chapter 2064: future blueprint

In the previous life, the New Generation Year-end Finals started in 2017 and was in full swing. It really attracted a lot of attention. However, the popularity of the event has never reached the height imagined. The rise of the New Generation has also been far slower than expected. The event itself is definitely There is still a lot of room for improvement.

Therefore, when Gawain mentioned this event, he did not completely follow the memory of the previous life and gave some different opinions based on his own understanding.

"You just mentioned the NFL and NBA All-Star Game. That game has no practical significance and is purely for entertainment. In my opinion, this new generation year-end finals can also be like this."

"Points? This event doesn't require points."

As soon as the words came out, Calvelli shook his head repeatedly, "No, this is not feasible."

"The reason why the All-Star Game is feasible is because of the All-Stars and the special relationship between players and the league, but ATP is not. If you don't believe it, look at how many players are left in the year-end finals if there are no points. If you are willing to come, injury is the most important consideration.”

"As for this new generation's year-end finals, if there are no points, things will be even more different."

The smile on the corner of Gawain's mouth rose slightly -

Because Calvelli is joining his own discussion, this means that the rhythm of the conversation is now in Gawain's hands.

Gawain waited patiently for Calvelli to make his point before continuing.

"Massimo, look, what is the ultimate goal of this event?"

"Our year-end finals are the pinnacle battle. The top eight players in the world at the end of the year compete for the championship. Points and bonuses are added value."

"The existence of the New Generation Year-end Finals itself is not such a concept. It is an opportunity for young players to show themselves and get on the big stage to win growth and breakthrough. Naturally, the planning and positioning of the event will be different."

"The points are not important at all, the bonus is enough."

"You should know that for these young players, tournament prize money is simply not enough to afford their professional travel, and the cost of transportation, accommodation and training is enough to make them nerve-wracking."

"They participate in the Hope Race. How much money can they earn if they win a game? One hundred dollars? Two hundred dollars?"

"It's not enough. Far from it."

"What the New Generation Year-end Finals provides is a stage, an opportunity, and a bonus."

"Believe me, they will be willing to participate. Even if they don't get any points."

Calvelli was slightly stunned—

It's not that he didn't think of it, but that they had preconceived ideas.

ATP has made a plan. Naturally, they think that their plan is the best, and the feasibility has been confirmed through in-depth discussions. Now Gawain proposes a completely different plan. The first thought in his subconscious mind is Refute and think it is not feasible.

This is a kind of thinking inertia.

But slowly, Gawain peeled off the details and revealed the plan. Although it was imperfect and incomplete, a series of sparks burst out in Calvelli's mind.

Even Tobias couldn't bear to join the discussion, "This means that we need a bonus, a thick bonus, so relying solely on a national tennis association is probably not enough, right?"

Part of the reason for the transcendence of the four Grand Slams is the prize money. In addition to the National Tennis Association, there are countless sponsors.

A year-end finals for the new generation can attract the attention of the National Tennis Association, but it may not necessarily attract the interest of sponsors.

Of course, just like the Olympic Games and World Cup, the host country itself will also seek sponsorship.

But is the appeal of the new generation enough?

After Tobias said it, he realized that he shouldn't break up the trouble. When he was regretting it, he didn't expect that Gawain had a calm expression.

"John, we are not talking about the Grand Slam or the Masters, and the participants are limited to the new generation of young players. In fact, the prize money does not need to be exaggerated."

"If you win the championship, $50,000 is enough to make young players ecstatic."

"And don't forget, this tournament only invites eight players."

"The total prize money for a two-hundred-and-fifty-point tournament may require US$500,000 or US$600,000. Due to the attendance rate, this sponsorship is not easy, but they need to invite at least twenty-eight players, each Players will receive bonuses as long as they play in the first round of the main game, and the total bonus number is naturally not low."

"But this New Generation year-end finals can be held with a prize of US$150,000 to US$200,000. I think it shouldn't be difficult."

"Of course, everything cannot be absolute. I also understand what you mean. Only with box office can there be bonuses, and with attention can there be popularity. This is a simple truth."

"If we want the event to be held for a long time and return to our original purpose - don't forget our original intention of planning this event, so that young players can get more opportunities to showcase and get more attention. We look forward to the Youth Storm becoming a real Awakening, then we still need heat.”

At this time, Gawain stopped. No more words were needed. Tobias and Calvelli both raised their heads and glanced at Gawain.

In fact, Calvelli also had some ideas, and brainstorming was in progress, but since Gawain had ideas, he was willing to listen.

Gawain showed a smile, and he himself had some expectations -

In the final analysis, he is only a newcomer who has entered the professional tour for less than two years. UU Reading www. uushcommIf we can see more young faces join and make the game more competitive, he will definitely support it with both hands and feet.

"We can refer to football's Golden Globe Award, or football's regular season MVP, and vote by professional reporters."

"You see, there are a total of eight seats in the New Generation Year-End Finals, seven of which are determined by ranking, and the last seat is a wild card."

"Vote by professional tennis reporters or sports reporters, they select the rising stars they are worth looking forward to, and they participate in the discussion with professional views in the industry."

"The point is to get more people involved, to get more people to pay attention, and most importantly, to make paying attention to young players a habit, instead of just a few scouts scattered in different venues watching the game in obscurity, to truly establish Make a habit of paying attention.”

"Of course, if we want to go further, we can make it more lively."

"The first six seats are determined by rankings, one seat is voted by professional journalists, and the other seat is voted by ATP officials, just like ATP's year-end awards every year, voted by players, fans, and organizing committee staff of different events , choose a popular rising star."

Tobias:…

Calvelli:…

The two people exchanged glances. This matter was getting bigger and bigger, completely involving everyone—

Some people may worry that the more people involved, the more likely it is that something is hidden. What should I do if someone operates in secret?

But looking at it from another perspective, if someone is willing to operate in secret for a seat in the competition, it means that there is interest, and if there is interest, there will be attention.

It is conceivable that the network of this new generation's year-end finals can really be revitalized.
