I talk with Dan Kiernan from Wimbledon about the proposed ATP doubles changes for 2028 and why doubles players feel blindsided by the messaging. We focus on transparency, intent, and respect, and what doubles players can realistically do next if leadership will not share clear facts.
You'll also hear specific names who we believe may be pushing this agenda forward.
Initial reactions from doubles players and coaches at Wimbledon
Why “doubles isn’t sustainable” needs real definitions and data
How ticket sales, streaming, sponsorship, and event value get misunderstood
Respect as the foundation for any doubles growth plan
Why intent matters
How ATP governance differs from the WTA approach to player input
What “closing the pathway” could mean for doubles specialists
Likelihood the 2028 plan moves forward and why a fight is coming
Practical advice for players: awareness, answers, and sticking together
Why infighting helps leadership and weakens player leverage on revenue
This is a super informative conversation that I hope helps you better understand all the layers to this situation.
