Why Tennis Should Adopt Golf's Tour Card System

Why tennis should adopt golf's Tour Card system.

For years, one tennis debate has raged on – one that feels nowhere close to a viable solution. The length of the tennis season.

But is it too narrow to look at the calendar in isolation? Are there, instead, more significant issues with the very essence of the tennis ecosystem?

What if tennis could take greater control of different tiers of events? And limit the number of players who could turn professional at the top of the game, introducing rungs of feeder tours below for them to graduate from more formally, as opposed to slogging up the unforgiving, unpredictable unified rankings system?

Here's why tennis should follow golf's lead and introduce a Tour Card system.
