Looks like the ATP finally learned to pony up for cash for the futures tour. This one is a 25,000 one and the biggest I have ever seen is 15000.Looking at the ITF calendar there are 25000 throughout the year which is a good thing.
Fairly good field for an ITF event. Nice to see the lowest div finally getting more scratch. These guys bust ass for nothing.Now maybe they can scratch out a better living. Could be more motivation now with more money. As far as betting goes I wonder if betting more underdogs could be profitable with more motivation. Or can see traditional challenger stiffs drop down to ITf to make a quick score. usually 15,000 +H get 37 points for a win.Would think over 50 now for these wins.
