"It all depends on how much you can spend": Sumit Nagal reveals steep cost of tennis expenses
ATPFriday, 27 October 2023 at 05:30
Indian tennis player Sumit Nagal has revealed that he is spending
close to 200 thousand US dollars every year on tennis.
The 26-year-old became famous after his quote emerged in the
recent past where he stated that he only had 900 euros left in his bank.
Nagal was recently quoted in a report where he went on to
explain in detail the steep cost of playing tennis at the highest level.
“The thing with tennis is that it is a funny sport,” he
said. “You can spend as much as you want. Firstly, you have to figure out what
your budget is for a tennis coach. If you have got a little bit extra, then you
get your fitness trainer involved.
“Then if you have a little bit extra, then you get a physio
involved. If you have a little bit extra, people travel with doctors, I'm just
giving an example, so it all depends on what type of budget you have.
“You can spend as much as you want because there are some
coaches who are going to cost you, for example, €2,000 or €3,000 a week. And
then, there are some coaches who are going to cost you €7,000 a week. So it all
depends on how much you can spend.
“There are coaches charging over €10,000 a week who are
coaching the top 20 players. Their coaches would charge them almost $300,000 to
$400,000 a year on a contract.
“So it all depends on who you are, where you're living, and
what is the budget you want to spend. I've been spending more than $120,230 – $180,348
dollars on a yearly basis.”
Nagal is currently ranked 170 in the ATP rankings and has
never won a single ATP title in his career.
He has only played in the main draw of a Grand Slam twice
and both times it was in the US Open, in 2019 and in 2020.
