Start small

Low-tier events give points, experience and first prize money without facing the world’s best.

Young players improve quickly. Invest in training and develop a clear playing identity.

Early money

Travel and staff costs are high. Choose nearby events and avoid expensive staff before income arrives.

Frequently asked questions

When should I move up a tier?

When you regularly reach late rounds in smaller events and your ranking allows entry.

Does this work in every career?

Not in exactly the same way. Playing style, age, surface preference, fitness and the current ranking can change which choice is best.

How long should I test the idea?

Use several weeks or a small tournament block so that one unusually good or bad match does not decide the conclusion.
