Carlos Alcaraz attacked the circuit because of the calendar: “They have to do something”

Without a doubt, current tennis is experiencing a problem between players and the ATP: the tight schedule, which involves a large number of matches to be played in the season, brings constant criticism from the top stars of the circuit. In this case, Carlos Alcaraznumber 1 in the world, was categorically against it.

The Murcian arrived at Paris Masters 1000the last competition of the category of the season, and spoke at the Media Day of the competition, where he was very critical: “I don’t have an exact number of games that we should play, I can’t say an exact number, but They obviously have to do something with the calendar.“.

“The number of tournaments we have to play is too high. We don’t have enough time to train and rest. Even during the season, I think it is week after week and we do not have the opportunity to have a week to prepare well for the tournaments or what awaits us in the season,” he concluded.

On the other hand, the champion of Roland Garros and US Open this season, analyzed what is to come in Paris: “This year is totally different from last. The court is much slower, but I think it is a really good speed, we can see tennis, not just serves, not just one serves. You can see rallies, points, tennis, so I think it is great. Obviously, I have said many times that I like slower courts, not so fast. This tournament is not my best tournament in terms of results, but I love playing here. I’m not very used to playing indoors, but year after year, I think I’m going to improve.“.

The Murician will begin his journey in the French Masters 1000 from the second round, where he awaits the winner of the match between the British Cameron Norrie and the Argentine Sebastián Báez.
