### **THE INTRO**

Before taking a deep dive into the project, you should get familiar with some of the pressing issues it is trying to solve as stated below:

*   #### Tennis is EXPENSIVE... but it doesn't have to be!

    Despite being one of the most popular sports in the world, making it in the world of **Tennis** still seems like one of the most challenging feats a professional athlete could take on due to the expensive nature of the sport. A 2020 study by the U.S. Tennis Association showed that the **average season** as a professional would cost a player **north of $143,000** in expenses. That's a lot of money...
*   #### Tennis is NOT very INCLUSIVE... but it doesn't have to be!

    Like it or not, a crucial factor for success in the world of tennis is **access to stable funding** and despite top players raking in millions of dollars in career earnings, many prospects and pros climbing up the ranks **struggle to make ends meet**. In addition to that, the slow digitalization of this very traditional sport seems to be robbing fans and players of more ways to connect with each other and build valuable social capital.
*   #### Tennis is TOO TRADITIONAL... but it doesn't have to be!

    We at PTF, believe that tennis should not only be **more accessible** **for underprivileged athletes** but should be **more accessible for fans** as well so that they feel involved in the progress and ultimately the success of their favorite players, which is why we teamed up with Borna Coric to create a project by tennis fam for tennis fam.

So how do we try and mitigate some of these issues? **Continue** with your deep dive to find ou&#x74;**. ⤵️**
