Carlos Alcaraz says he’s going to take some long breaks, 1 to 2 months long, & start missing some tournaments because it’s impossible to keep up with the tennis calender, ‘We’re seeing a lot of players getting injured’
“Seeing how tight the calendar is, obviously I don’t want to have this break because of an injury. But in the future, I’m gonna take some breaks... some long breaks. Maybe not 4 months, but 1 month, 2 months… start missing some tournaments because it’s impossible to play them all. They’re adding more important tournaments. In a way, they’re making us play…”
“We’re seeing a lot of players getting injured, a lot of players getting tired. If they don’t do anything about it, we’re gonna see it even more in the future.”
