The IPTL League is a fool's errand for the top tier players. How many times have we heard them talking about the season being too gruelling... yet they sign up for stuff like this and other needless exhibitions.
i was thinking the same thing. there's this singles, doubles type exhibition going on now and it automatically recorded on my DVR. I started watching it thinking it would be the lower tier players that would be participating, but no, many of the people at the top of the game are participating in these games. It was confusing because even if they don't see it's easy to see that the season is too long, so why do they do it? It makes no sense. Serena, Maria, Gasquet, Ivanovic, Nishikori, Raonic, and tons of others. The new season starts in a month and then they'll show up to the Australian Open depleted and out of sorts. I don't get it, but this happens all the time.
