Double defeat for Carlos Alcaraz. On the one hand, the Spaniard lost this Thursday against the British Jack Draper. But then he also took issue with the new serve clock rule.
It is “crazy”, it is “bad for the players” and he will speak with the ATP about the subject are some of the titles that the Spaniard left behind.
It is worth noting that in this week’s tournaments, Halle and Queen’s, The ATP decided to start the service clock when the point ends, not when the referee calls itwhich causes players to have less time between points.
“The chair umpire told me that it is a new rule, the clock never stops, after the point ends the clock starts. It is bad for the player. I finish the point in the net and I don’t have time to go after the balls. I’m not talking about going for the towel, no, no. “I don’t even have time to go to the balls,” he confessed.
“It’s crazy. I’ve never seen it in tennis,” said Alcaraz, who confirmed that he has not yet spoken to the ATP about this, but that he will.
