One confirmed FIP Bronze (La Nucia), a held-back budget for a late-add second event, the Madrid base block kept running, and August pre-paid before fares climb. Every line costed against a verified market rate or a FIP-published fee — not a guess.
The spend
Events earn FIP points — so they take the front. The Madrid base keeps the player in form between weekends. Gear is bare minimum. August pre-pay cuts fares. The reserve only moves on a real incident.
Block A · Events · €1,060
Block B · Madrid base · €1,940
Block C · Gear & admin · €200
Block D · August pre-pay · €300
Block E · Reserve · €700
The math
July is a thin Bronze month — only one confirmed Spanish Bronze (La Nucia). Realistic FIP-point return ranges from a quarter-final exit to an outside title shot. A late-add second event could add another 0-22.
How decisions are made
La Nucia Bronze main draw beats a Silver qualifier exit on expected points. No Silver entry unless seed and partner make Round of 16 realistic.
On-court hours and the S&C / physio block continue through travel weeks. Skipping the base block to save €100 costs tournament weeks later.
Flights and entries for August locked before 1 August. 6-week lead-time cuts EU short-haul fares 30-40% — that's two extra Bronze entries per year.
€700 held against incident only. Untouched, it carries forward and reduces month two's funding ask. Published on July 31.

One sponsor can take the full month. Or take a tier and ride along for the year. Either way, the next 30 days have a budget and a number to clear.
