'TURSUNOV KEEPS MAKING MONEY'

Interesting system the ATP has and how it keeps rewarding players who used to be good at the sport. Russian Dmitry Tursunov has won just two ATP matches in the last two years yet his bank account before tax looks something like this.
$323,626. Yes that's correct. For a 'tourist', well, I suppose that's not bad money when you look at it.
Dmitry Tursunov is ranked 645 currently. Let's look at how he continues to manipulate an already 'busted arsed system' that rewards the 'has beens' .
Nordics Natural Challenger, USA , 7/08/ 2017, First Round Qualifying against John Lamble ranked 880. ( I think I may have once been ranked that number ).
WALK OVER, yep Dmitry won by not even hitting a ball, about the only way this 'superstar' will get on the score board.
Second Round- Austin Krajicek defeated Mr Tursunov 6-3, 6-2. 
Any prize money ? NONE
Citi Open, Washington, 31/07/2017 - Round of 64, 6-4, 6-7, 6-4 over Mitchell Krueger.
Round of 32 - Gilles Muller def Tursunov- 6-1, 6-2. Tursunov picks up $12,000.
German Tennis Championships 24/07/ 2017 Benoit Paire def Tursunov 6-3, 6-2 , ( $13,000 )
( Bet these guys can't believe their luck when the name TURSUNOV is placed next to theirs on the draw sheet )
Wimbledon 2017- Fabio Fognini def Tursunov 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 ( approximately $41,000 )
Australian Open 2017- Radek Stepanek def Tursunov  6-2, 7-6, 6-3 ( approximately $41,000 ) 
Ok to 2016, let's forget the statistics and scores, but Dmitry Tursunov won around $154,000 US Dollars for winning ONE MATCH on the ATP Tour. He lost First round at Wimbledon, French Open and Australian Open.
So how can Tursunov do all of this ? Well according to the rules he has a PR ( Protected Ranking ) due to injury.
Apparently this has now been going on for around a year and a half. I wonder how many struggling tennis pros have been following the Dmitry Tursunov story and thinking ' geez, what I would give to be allowed through to the main draw to be cannon fodder'.
The system is beyond a mess. The Russian is non competitive as showed by his 6-7, 1-6, FORFEIT to a guy ranked outside the top 200 in the US Open today. Anyone can play for a set, Dmitry knew he would be gone inside two sets yet he still took a spot in the draw that could have seen a career beginning for someone. 
Selfish money hungry prick.
$41,000 US Dollars as the Russian continues his protected ranking money grabbing World Tour.
So how much did Tursunov make against 'Real Tennis Players' on the Challenger Circuit in the last year or so ?
About $3,000. And that's about all he should be making, he's not good enough to do anything else.
Spare a thought for the real players trying to make a living out of tennis having to put up with 'tourists' making cameo appearances particularly at Gram Slams.
Fair Dinkum joke..........
