What this really corresponds to is an unrelenting, concerted effort of impressing the public -us- with the increasingly absolute dominance of big corporations over every single facet of life and the ridiculous proportions this process is taking easily transcend a 'balance-sheet' picture, as you are suggesting, and rather hint at a more and more blatant fascist organization of society.
I think it's silly to suggest the only alternative is government funding.

'.Where do you think they get millions to improve facilities and give away prize money.'
The ITF states sponsorship, competition and television income combined represent about 80% of its income. The ITF can obviously be conceived of as a rather large and successful business with numerous financial options and I maintain it's completely ridiculous to have tennis players publicly thank sponsors after each victory, even if YOU find this perfectly normal.

@suddenlyitsobvious Actually GS are ITF events and yes corporate spoonsorship is needed .Where do you think they get millions to improve facilities and give away prize money.Of course Tv viewership and audience are important but so is corporate sponsorship and thats why USA is so successful in sports.In case of china government provides everything.

They thought he was being sarcastic because he said "First of all congratulations Lleyton, you had a great start this year", after beating him in the centenary final in front of a home crowd. Marat was actually being totally sincere in his congrats, which is why, after realising his mistake, he immediately apologised.

Aw I really love Marat even though he can get a tad heated on court! He's so funny!
He's losing to Federer right now though! :(
Hope he doesn't retire!
