[Reuters]- Men’s tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece) said that with more and more Masters 1000 tournaments extending the duration to about two weeks, there is not enough time for players to recover and train. He expressed his opinion.
In men’s tennis, five Masters tournaments have been extended, but the ATP, which oversees the tour, announced earlier this year that the number of 12-day tournaments will be increased to seven from 2025.
Tsitsipas said in X: “The two-week Masters 1000 tournament has become a hindrance.The quality has definitely declined.The players are not able to fully recover and train to get through the season. , I don’t have the luxury of moving hard on the court.”
“It’s ironic that we would go with this format without knowing whether it would actually improve the schedule.” “Extending it to a week is counterproductive. It seems like we’re trying to fix something that isn’t broken.”
