Wimbledon champion Andy Murray demands more solidarity since players on the ITF tour cannot make a living even if they win the tournament.

Andy Murray believes that top players like himself should subsidize ITF level tournaments in order to promote the talents of the future.

“If you win the tournament that week, you can just about pay for your hotel room and travel, you’re losing money…We want to make tennis a better sport and we want to make it easier for more players to make a living.”

He goes on saying: “It’s not about making millions, it’s about being able to make a living. There’s a lot of players that have to stop when they are 21 or 22 because they can’t afford to play the game because the prize money is not high enough…the Grand Slams obviously make a lot of money and the players at the top of the game could certainly help with that, too.”

What do you think…is Andy Murray right?
