Alcaraz is not the only player to express their concerns over the busy tennis calendar in recent weeks, with Jack Draper and WTA No.1 Iga Swiatek also doing so.
However, the five-time major winner appears to think that his schedule is only likely to get busier in future years.
“And a lot of players say that it’s really tight and a lot of tournaments during the whole year,” said Alcaraz. “I’m the kind of player who thinks there is a lot of tournaments during the year, mandatory tournaments and probably during the next few years gonna be even more tournaments, more mandatory tournaments. So, I mean, probably they are going to kill us in some way (smiling).
“Right now they are showing up a lot of injuries because of the ball, because of the calendar, because of a lot of things. So probably at some point a lot of good players are going to miss a lot of tournaments because of that because they have to think about their bodies, they have to take care of their love.”
The Murcian added, “I mean, they have family, they have a lot of other stuff in life than tennis. So they have to take care of it, as well. So it’s getting too much, I guess.”
Alcaraz will need to be motivated in the final day of Laver Cup action, as he looks to inspire Team Europe to a comeback victory from 8-4 down.
Competing in two matches in Berlin later today, Alcaraz will play doubles alongside Casper Ruud, before playing singles against Taylor Fritz.
