To justify his plan to cut doubles, Gaudenzi twice says “if you look at the data” That would be the data that the ATP has refused to provide to doubles players for the last 3 months. The parts they have produced have been proven to be misleading. Where is the data @atptour ?

“Nobody wants to watch doubles”.
Stadium full to capacity for this doubles court in Barcelona today, and about 150 people waiting to get in / watching from outside. No singles matches on this court.
But.. nobody wants to watch doubles and doubles doesn’t sell any tickets. It has no market value? @atptour

In this whole doubles debate, we can't forget that ATP/Tennis TV does nothing to promote doubles. It's quite clearly deliberate. Players are prevented from promoting their matches or points. So it's easy to point and go - 'sorry no interest and kill off.'
Sander Gille retweeted
Getting them on and off the court faster just says, “hey, let’s get these guys out of the way so the real tennis can be played.”
Isn’t no-ad and a tiebreak for the third already speedy enough? How has that worked?
The answer lies in connecting fans with doubles players. But fans can’t get connected when doubles is almost never on tv and the ATP doesn’t invest in storytelling about anybody but Sinner and Alcaraz.
#Wimbledon
If Barry Hearn had run doubles it wouldn’t be in the place it is.
The product needs tinkering with, not blowing up but no one has even tried.
The players would be willing to experiment but tennis has dearth of innovators.
Not sitting down for the changeovers in doubles would speed up the product exponentially and allow the doubles finals to be played closer to singles finals at events giving greater visibility to the doubles players.
That’s just one simple solution

I was going to say what I thought of @ATPTour's plans to mess with the doubles - halve the 32 draws at 1000 events and syphon off up to 20% prize money to millionaire singles players but @AlysonRudd in the The London SundayTimes did it for me. Of the planned changes she writes "This is staggeringly insulting to a sport that has brought such joy..and what is a governing body doing murdering its own? It is ridiculous that the ATP neglects dobles & then blames it for not being popular. ...It should be bolstering its commitment, singing its praises & most definitely not pruning it out of existence."

Holy misinformation.
Now TWO first round men's doubles matches at #Wimbledon have ended in a walkover because no guys signed up as alternates.
Tough to argue with the ATP plan to reduce the doubles population when it's already reducing itself, even at Wimbledon of all places.
Sander Gille retweeted
ATP Tour is murdering doubles, then blaming it for not being popular
Team game is bedrock of tennis in Britain but insulting plan to reduce prize money simply confirms those in charge are too wrapped up in glamour of singles

Men’s doubles upset ‼️
Sander Gille & Sem Verbeek take out No. 2 Granollers/Zeballos 6-4, 7-6, who had won 3 of the last 5 slams since RG 2025.
Biggest career win for Gille/Verbeek. #Wimbledon

For context, Sander and Sem had 6 Ch titles together since the 2nd semester of 2025, so a breakthrough together is theoretically long overdue (since their respective break-ups, with Joran that is the Belgian national setting and Andre, respectively).
Lores like these are a delight watch/follow 🤩👀 #SaveDoubles
