  • Game, Set, Watched: Governance, Social Control and Surveillance in Professional Tennis
    GAME, SET, WATCHED: GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE IN PROFESSIONAL TENNIS By Marie-Pier Guay A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada November, 2013 Copyright © Marie-Pier Guay, 2013 Abstract Contrary to many major sporting leagues such as the NHL, NFL, NBA, and MLB, or the Olympic Games as a whole, the professional tennis industry has not been individually scrutinized in terms of governance, social control, and surveillance practices. This thesis presents an in-depth account of the major governing bodies of the professional tennis circuit with the aim of examining how they govern, control, constrain, and practice surveillance on tennis athletes and their bodies. Foucault’s major theoretical concepts of disciplinary power, governmentality, and bio-power are found relevant today and can be enhanced by Rose’s ethico-politics model and Haggerty and Ericson’s surveillant assemblage. However, it is also shown how Foucault, Rose, and Haggerty and Ericson’s different accounts of “modes of governing” perpetuate sociological predicaments of professional tennis players within late capitalism. These modes of surveillance are founded on a meritocracy based on the ATP and WTA rankings systems. A player’s ranking affects how he or she is governed, surveilled, controlled, and even punished. Despite ostensibly promoting tennis athletes’ health protection and wellbeing, the systems of surveillance, governance, and control rely on a biased and capitalistically-driven meritocracy that actually jeopardizes athletes’ health and contributes to social class divisions, socio- economic inequalities, gender discrimination, and media pressure.

    Média alerte Steve Darcis et David Ferrer éliminés en huitièmes de finale de l’European Open David Goffin est entré sur le court central Anvers, 20 octobre 2016 – Schwartzman, Struff, Copil et Edmund se sont qualifiés aujourd’hui pour les quarts de finale de l’European Open. Notre compatriote Steve Darcis n’a pas pu s’imposer sur le court central du Lotto Arena face au Roumain Marius Copil. C’est à la suite d’un match intense que David Ferrer a dû s’incliner face à Kyle Edmund (6- 1, 3-6, 7-6(3)). David Goffin, le dernier belge encore en lice joue actuellement son premier match du tournoi sur le court central face Florian Mayer. Le premier match du jour opposait le jeune (18 ans) Taylor Fritz (ATP-70) à l’Argentin Schwartzman (ATP-77). L’Américain, qui a éliminé au premier tour le Belge Joris De Loore, n’a pas pu s’imposer aujourd’hui (6-4, 6-4). Ce fut ensuite au tour de l’Allemand Jan-Lennard Struff (ATP-98) d’éliminer au second tour la tête de série numéro cinq, le Français Gilles Simon (ATP-25), également sur un double 6-4. Il faut croire que la Belgique réussit à l’Allemand puisqu’il a remporté l’Ethias Trophy de Mons il y a deux semaines et inscrit aujourd’hui sa septième victoire sur notre sol. Le début de soirée fut rythmé par des simples très attendus, le premier opposant Steve Darcis à Marius Copil et qui s’est soldé par une victoire du Roumain (7-6(3), 6-2).

Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.
