The image above is the perfect representation of how the USTA deceives the American public with the approval of the board, the CEO, and of course in its attempts to preserve the perceived value of the US Open. What most uninformed people see is the apple in the mirror and take the USTA’s word for what the mirror supposedly shows, in this case, tennis participation, diversity, and resource allocation. The reality is what is in front of the mirror, what the financials state, what the payroll is, what the actual participation numbers say, and the true rotten state of the best-funded sport in the nation.

So let us start by pointing you to an article posted two days ago by the propaganda machine of the USTA, read it here is the link, after reading it you would think all is good. Then proceed to just read the facts that I will present and then conclude if the USTA respects you or if they think you are as dumb as a brick.

Their jobs are on the line.

Here are the real facts:
