Why do you think the US Open has such a small purse? Compared to regular tennis it's a joke. The US Open should be getting the worlds top players but doesn't. Why do you think that is?
Hi Jon,
I am not sure. It is an interesting question though.
I think that money attracts the players and it is hard to attract the money without the players.
I think that there is a lot of work to be done by the whole Table Tennis world to attract money into the sport. We need to promote our sport better. This is a job for everyone from the players to the general public to the administrators of the sport.
