Alcaraz destroys the ATP in blistering complaint

Alcaraz destroys the ATP in blistering complaint


"And considering his tennis, which is very physically demanding, the dense ATP schedule has left him facing questions." This article somehow forgets that Rafa's Tennis along with many others is physically demanding. They can't all be Federer with his low-impact approach or Novak with his injury-preventing flexibility. His tennis, as if somehow his tennis doesn't interact with other players. All of the players face the same demands on their bodies. He chose to do things in a way that put him at greater risk. Novak and many other players have mentioned this but somehow now it matters. He should join the PTPA but that wouldn't work with the establishment types.

Tennis Media misses mark again - Alacaraz seeks #1 again.

 I am beginning to sense entitlement. The article leaves out that the 23 Grand Slam Winner, Djokovic, didn't play the U.S. Open in 2022 because he was banned from entry. Not having points to defend from tournaments you couldn't play is no advantage because he would have likely been #1 all the time and not have to gain it again. It's good to have a rivalry but the media should be less biased.
