How much does a ball boy earn?
A collector touches… a lot of balls but no compensation. The youngsters (they are all between 14 and 17 years old) are however rewarded by their sponsor Adidas. In particular, they keep their equipment. And if they do not have seats available in the stands for the big matches, they sometimes have access to the edge of the court to watch the matches.
How much do referees earn?
The line judges are all volunteers. They touch a daily allowance of less than 150 euros. Almost all chair umpires are professional. They generally have a contract for the week or for the entire tournament. The FFT does not wish to communicate on these figures.
