More and more tennis players are complaining about how busy the calendar is. one of them is Daniil Medvedev, who proposes that the season should focus on the Grand Slams and the Masters 1000, and that the lower level tournaments, The ATP 250 should move to an optional slot next year.
“This year I just tried to play big tournamentsMedvedev told the press after his victory over Alex De Minaur in the ATP Finals.
“I think there should be bigger, important tournaments, which should be like: ‘Okay, these are the tournaments where we determine who will be in the top 10, like the Masters 1000’. If you play well in them, you will be there. The calendar should revolve around them” added the former world number 1, who suggested organizing the most important tournament at the beginning of the year: “Then you put all 250 later for people who want to continue playing“.
“If you’re good enough, you finish the season in whatever, October, you play in the Masters. It doesn’t matter. Don’t count the contests after. If you still think you need more points for the Australian Open or more matches, do it later,” he concluded.
We remember that starting next season, seven of the nine ATP Masters 1000s (all but Monte Carlo and Paris) are played in 12 daysa decision criticized by Stefanos Tsitsipas last week.
