Zverev says he has not spoken to a single player who likes the two week Masters events, ‘I don’t even think fans like that… I understand tennis is a business, but I’m not sure that business plan is working very well right now’ “Do you think you’ll play more of a schedule of 15 to 18 tournaments and really try to peak at the Slams? Zverev: “The thing is I would love to. But with how the ATP has done the touraments nowadays, it’s impossible to. How are you gonna do that? You have the 9 Masters 1000 events, which are mandatory. Most of them are two week long events nowadays, except Monte Carlo and Paris Bercy, which I think are the best two weeks nowadays because you’ve kind of in and out. I think for a fan and for every tennis player, like, Paris Bercy was awesome last year. I won it, which was even more awesome for me (laughs). You kind of get there, you play your 5 matches, and you get out of there. You don’t have to stick around. You don’t have to practice in between matches. You don’t have to do all those things. That’s how Masters events used to be. I think all the players loved it. Now the ATP has made 4 mandatory 500 events for you to play, which used to be 3, now it’s 4. You kind of don’t really get under 20 events except if you are pulling out of those big events. I’m not a fan of where this is going because if you take Alex de Minaur for example last year, he played his last match at Davis Cup November 25th, and played the first match at United Cup this year December 27th. So you have a month of off season. How are you gonna take two weeks off? How are you gonna prepare your body for a new season? How are you gonna train enough tennis? You don’t have enough time to do all those things anymore. I think this is one subject where the ATP has to really think about it and kind of find a solution for it as well. To be honest, I’ve not heard a single player say that they love the two week masters events. I don’t even think fans like that. They don’t like waiting for two days for their favorite player to play again. I understand tennis is a business, but I’m not sure that business plan is working very well right now.” (via Nothing Major Show)

Marc Andreessen on the 3 things he looks for when investing in a startup The first thing Marc Andreesen looks for is a big market: “Is there a big existing market that you think you can go after and displace incumbents? Or do you believe there will be a new market that will be big?” The second thing he looks for is a 10x better product: “Is there a fundamental technology or economic change that justifies a new company? And the way I always think about that is: Is there a 10x change happening in the technology landscape? Is something 10x faster, 10x cheaper, or 10x better? If it’s not 10x, we as both VCs and entrepreneurs have to ask ourselves if it’s really worth doing because it’s really hard to start new companies . . . Existing companies are usually pretty good at what they do. So for a new company to exist, it has to bring a product to market that’s so much better than what exists that it punches through the status quo.” The third is the team: “Is the team outstanding? . . . You want to have a founding team of complementary skillsets. You want to have at least one super strong technologist — quite possibly more than one. Some of the best startups are actually more than one founding technologist. And then it often helps to have someone who is a marketing or salesperson who has a really good understanding of business.” Marc believes that you need all three of these, but if you’re going to compromise on one of those as an investor, it should be the product: “A great market is a lot easier to make up for with iterative product execution. The problem with a poor or small market is that even if you do a good job on the product, there just aren’t that many customers so it’s hard to ever get big and people get demoralized . . . And then we evaluate the team of a startup by its ability to get into a big market with a good product.”
