Carlos Alcaraz reinforces ‘really tight’ schedule claim with statement he has ‘said many times’
Tennis’ ever-increasing schedule has been a real bone of contention for years now, as an issue that inexplicably only continues to grow.
Despite the vocal complaints from so many people now, nothing ever changes, with some of the sport’s biggest names having emerged to condemn the situation.
Carlos Alcaraz is the latest, who actually referenced the problem whilst speaking on court after his Davis Cup match just yesterday.
Carlos Alcaraz reacts to busy tennis schedule after Davis Cup match
The Spaniard is renowned for his unbridled positivity, seldom pictured without a smile plastered across his face.
However, on this occasion, the subject matter of his words was far more serious than his upbeat demeanour suggested.
In fact, he even sadly admitted how the expanding nature of the tennis calendar afforded him no time at all for the tournaments he loves to play, or for enough rest at times too.
He claimed, after beating Tomas Mahac: ‘Honestly it’s a special feeling for me playing here in Valencia at the Davis Cup. I missed it last year.
‘As I said many times, the schedule in tennis is really tight. There are a lot of tournaments I love to play. But sometimes I can’t do it. Last year this was the case for me. Missing the Davis Cup. But this year I’m really excited about it. It’s a really special feeling for me.’
So many high-profile names have complained about the schedule
It’s quite ridiculous that so many high-profile names, whether it be players, pundits or former stars of the sport, can all agree on this issue. Yet, nothing ever changes.
