Peter Johnston is our guest on this special edition of DOAPTC. Peter is Tournament Director for the Hong Kong ATP 250 event in the first week of the 2025 calendar. Just like last year, it's got a great line-up with four players inside the world's top 20 entered - and Next Gen Stars Jerry Shang and Learner Tien. There's so much that goes into running a tournament, so much in particular behind the scenes - and Peter gives us insight into his role; how and why the players decide to play a particular tournament; and whether the big names get more 'perks' than the rest of the field.
