## Resource

Tennis doubles is in crisis—singles stars avoid it, tours cut jobs, and management profits from the chaos. While fans love doubles, the business case is weak, and sentiment won’t fix it. Men’s tennis suffers from best-of-five grueling matches and no modern powerhouse duo like the Bryans. College players now specialize in doubles, but the tour’s indifference and economic shortsightedness are crushing the format. Meanwhile, Belarus flags remain absent from matches as tennis waits for World Tennis to act—no quick fixes expected.
