Carlos Alcaraz insists on the calendar issue and responds to Jannik Sinner

Carlos Alcaraz renewed his criticism of an Atp circuit he deems too crowded, saying that "many players" agree with him and adding "we have to do something about it".

The Spaniard, current No. 3 in the rankings, thus responded to Jannik Sinner, who had pointed out on the subject: "If you don’t want to play a tournament, you don’t sign up".

The program "will kill us"” Alcaraz had said last week at the Laver Cup, joining his voice to the growing number of players raising the issue. The 21-year-old Spaniard è entered the China Open, his 15th ° tournament of the year.

"I have seen and heard many players complain about the schedule, even the calendar". Among them is not ’è evidently Sinner, who on Tuesday decried the issue: "The scheduleè quite long. But we players can still choose what to play and what not".

Responding to the Italian, Alcaraz admitted "I am speaking for myself, the schedule è was so tight from the first week of January until the last week of November. We have to talk among ourselves and we have to do something about it".
