@PrinceHolger_ @holgerrune2003 Holger, this would be a lot more fun on a @TennisSocialNYC simulator 😅

@Jason We need new social game concepts that are fun with friends and productive for your long term health, both mentally and physically @TennisSocialNYC

Young people staying at home to diddle their phones (and whatever else), instead of exploring the world and making memories, mistakes and friends is the greatest tragedy tech ever created. We must reverse this! More parties! more fun! more regretful decisions that turn in epic memories! founders: I want to see products and services that get people to leave their caves (like Meetup did back in the day)

Oh my god, Gael

@TheTennisLetter We’re building a new tennis experience at @TennisSocialNYC to help with these issues at the club level. We need to lower the barrier to tennis, making it more social and fun for the non tennis and or casual tennis player.

Novak Djokovic says tennis is endangered at the club level, ‘If we don’t do something about it globally, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle or pickleball’ “In terms of innovation in our sport… other than Slams, we have to figure out how to attract a young audience. Tennis on one hand is in a good place, but at the same time, when we look at Formula 1 for example and what they’ve done in terms of marketing, in terms of growth of the sport, in terms of the races around the world and how popular they are.. I think we need to do a better job on our respective tours. The grand slams are always gonna do well. But I think our tours need to do better. We are lucky to be very historic and a very global sport. But I think one of the studies that was done by PTPA 3 or 4 years ago showed that tennis is the 3rd or 4th most watched sport in the world along with cricket. Number 1 is football or soccer as you call it in the states. Second is basketball. Then it’s tennis and cricket. But tennis is number 9 or 10 on the list of all sports in terms of using its popularity, commercializing or capitalizing on that. I think there’s a huge space for growth. We’re quite fractioned as a sport. There are quite a bit of things for us to collectively look at and try to improve it. We need to grow the number of players that live from this sport. Very rarely do I see in the media that you guys are writing about the fact that you have only 350 to 400 players both men, women, singles, doubles across the board that live from this sport on this planet. That’s deeply concerning for me. Yes, we talk about the grand slam winner wins this or that. The focus is always on the grand prize but what about the base level? We’re still doing a very poor job there… very poor job. Tennis is a very global sport and it’s loved by millions of children that pick up a racquet that wanna play, but we don’t make it accessible. We don’t make it so affordable. Especially in countries like mine that doesn’t have a strong federation, that has Grand Slam or history or big budgets.. so I think collectively we all have to come together or create a new foundation, a corner stone of really what tennis is about.. which is the base level. The club level. Now we have paddle that is growing and emerging. People kind of have fun with it and say ‘Yeah but tennis is tennis. Tennis is the king or queen of all racquet sports.’ That’s true. But on a club level, tennis is endangered. If we don’t do something about it, globally or collectively, paddle, pickleball in the states, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle and pickleball. Because it’s more economical. You have one tennis court… you can build 3 paddle courts on one tennis court. Do the simple math. It’s just much more financially viable for the owner of the club to have those courts. These are some of the things I wanted to share. In the grand scheme of things, we need to address all these challenges and issues. Because they’ve been out there for a while. I don’t think we’ve been addressing it in the proper way.” (via Wimbledon Press)

I’m in NYC this month and looking for tennis partners 🎾 I’ve got access to a court around Hudson Yards if anyone wants to play in the morning - around 8am or 9am? I’m pretty average - about 4.0 on the USTA rating. Let me know if you want to play!

And we've got a winner! Tonight's March Edition title belt winner of @PrimeTImeVC is @zehranaqvi of @headlinevc! A big thanks to @sullyL9 of @forumventures, @srcasm of @flybridge, & Victoria Kennedy of seedtoharvestvs.com for joining the panel! See you all next time!

This week @PrimeTimeVC is back⚡️ ft. Defending Champ @sullyL9 🏆 vs @srcasm vs @zehranaqvi vs STH

Looking to highlight 2 Rockstar Founders to speak in front of a group of VCs at @PrimeTimeVC next week on March 7th. Could be helpful for an upcoming Seed raise- A Round … Any suggestions?

The Tennis community in NYC is special! We're bringing theme parties back in a big way, come hang out with us for the next one 🎾
