Alcaraz plans long breaks, calls ATP schedule 'impossible'
–
Neutral summary
Carlos Alcaraz, back on court after a four-month layoff with a wrist injury, said he will take long breaks in his calendar going forward to stay healthy. The world No. 3 called the ATP schedule “impossible,” noting players risk up to 40 weeks of competition a year and that too many are getting injured. He urged organizers to adjust the calendar and said he is ready to face financial penalties for skipping events. Former Italian Davis Cup captain Corrado Barazzutti responded that no one is forced to play and praised Jannik Sinner for not complaining.
