The organizers of the extended, two-week Masters tournaments, according to Stefanos Tsitsipas, are “hurting” the sport. At the Italian Open, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic were forced to withdraw early, and Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz were forced to withdraw due to injuries before to the competition. And according to World No. 8, players will continue to experience physical difficulties as a result of the demanding extended program.
The extended Masters 1000s, which now take nearly a month to complete the joint ATP and WTA events in Madrid and Rome, have generated a lot of discussion in recent weeks. These two tournaments are among several larger ones that have extended its draws and format and now run for 12 to 13 days.
Tsitsipas is making a new claim that the players’ bodies were being harmed by the new format. When asked if Djokovic and Nadal were losing early and Alcaraz and Sinner were hurt, did it feel like a chance to win both Rome and the French Open? The 25-year-old chose to argue otherwise.
Yes, things are as they are right now. Having the finest players experience these kinds of things is something that somewhat damages the sport. When they were eliminated, he remarked, “The show is not really the same without them.”
