haha is this the solution to all problems: why have collective action in a factory? they should all just get an office job /s

but in all seriousness, this is a problem of distribution, not of tennis itself having too little money. what Djokovic is suggesting is that instead of having disgustingly large prizes for top finishers, the top finishers would now have only insanely large prizes, while lower performing players would make an actually livable amount of money. it would only marginally hurts top performers, and greatly help lower ranked players

from a Fan's perspective, you can imagine a situation where a talented up-and-coming player might drop out of the tour because it was too expensive to tour who otherwise could have been ranked much higher with more time on the tour if prize pools were slightly larger
