Thomas Muster Scraps It Out for Fun on the Challenger Tour
Thomas Muster has decided to play a few professional matches on the Challenger tour for a bit of fun. His latest match was at the NORD/LB OPEN Challenger event in Braunschweig, Germany earlier this week. Unfortunately Thomas lost 6-2 6-1 to Conor Niland of Ireland.
Its great to see the classic players still loving tennis and even wanting to scrap it out for fun on the lower level tours. I think it really shows the type of person Thomas Muster is!
Why Cant I Watch Future and Challenger Tours on TV or Web?
I have always wondered why the lower level tours dont actually get any TV time. I have noticed here in the UK that tennis is pretty much never on TV, except Grand Slams. In the USA they have the Tennis Channel, but why has the Tennis Channel not got onto Sky yet? Additionally, how come they never cover the lower level tours, like Futures and Challengers? There could be some interesting pieces on finding the next Roger Federer or Raphael Nadal, but they seem to have such a narrow focus.
