Carlos Alcaraz will begin his participation in the Beijing tournament on Friday. The Murcian, who will make his debut against Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (number 51), spoke to reporters this Wednesday in an appearance where He again criticized the tennis calendar.
Alcaraz reiterated his disapproval of the number of contests throughout the season, insists that “a lot of players” agree with him.
This is not the case of Jannik Sinnerwho in his media appearance highlighted that “of course, the calendar has been quite long in recent years. But the players can always choose which tournament we play and which we don’t.”
When asked to respond to Sinner’s comments, Alcaraz admitted it was “a personal feeling,” adding that he spoke for himself.
“The calendar is very tight from the first week of January to the last week of November. We need to talk about it and do something about it.” he analyzed.
sinfulwho after winning the US Open gave up playing the Davis Cup and Laver Cup, He has played 60 individual matches this season, with a record of 55-5 in twelve competitions.
His greatest generational rival, Alcaraz, has less games: 52 (43-9), in two more games, 14. One of their blessed, common problems is that they are successful in tournaments and accumulating matches.
We remember that last week Alexander Zverev out of Beijing due to pneumoniaalso criticized the length of the season and the management of the ATP.
“ATP doesn’t care what we think, it’s about the money“said the world number 2, criticizing the “unnecessary number of tournaments” organized each season, not counting the four majors.
