Alcaraz believes ‘impossible’ schedule raising injury threat
The Spaniard, who just got back from a four-month layoff, plans fewer tournaments despite the addition of more important events.
Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning US Open champion, has revealed his intention to take fewer tournaments in the future due to an "impossible" tennis calendar. The Spaniard, who recently returned from a four-month layoff following a wrist injury, attributed his recent injury problems and fatigue to the overwhelming number of events he plays.
Alcaraz, who defeated Portugal's Jaime Faria in four sets at the US Open, said he initially had no desire to miss such an extended period, but acknowledges he will need to incorporate longer breaks into his schedule to prevent further injuries. The seven-time Grand Slam winner pointed out that the sport is being pushed to play more tournaments, and without changes, more players will suffer from injuries and exhaustion.
