Much better late than never Stan Wawrinka, former US Open champ, gets his much deserved wild card

When Boris Becker charged the net, it was must-watch tennis. 🎾🔥 His fearless diving volleys became the trademark of a style that’s all but disappeared from the modern game.

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 : Linda Noskova just won $4.8 Million Prize money but reality is doesn't even get half of it.... For people interested in tennis finance, here is a wild example. Linda Nosková wins the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles Championship and gets a massive £3.6 million ($4.8 million) winner's check. But by the time she leaves London, her net pay is less than £1.6 million ($2.1 million). Here is the brutal breakdown of how a £3.6 million prize check shrinks to less than half: 1. The UK Tax Trap (HMRC): • The UK has a top income tax rate of 45% • Right off the bat, the UK government slices about £1.62 million from her winnings. • The Hidden Catch: The UK is one of the only countries that also forces foreign athletes to pay UK tax on a percentage of their worldwide endorsement and sponsorship income based on the days they spend playing in the UK. Even if she is a tax resident of a low-tax country, she cannot escape the UK tax net on this tournament prize. 2. Team & Agent Expenses: • Coaches, fitness trainers, and physios don't travel for free. • Agents and managers typically take a 15% to 20% cut of the earnings to cover commissions and team salaries. This drains another £540,000 to £720,000. In the end, the champion who proudly holds up the Venus Rosewater Dish and a £3.6 million check will only see about £1.3 million to £1.4 million hit her actual bank account!
