🎾 Novak Djokovic has called out fellow tennis stars Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as tensions rise ahead of the US Open! 🌟
Sinner and Alcaraz aren’t thrilled with the extended 12-day format now adopted by most Masters 1000 tournaments, and they’ve been quite vocal about it. Sinner enjoys the fast-paced, action-packed one-week events, reminiscing about the traditional schedules in Monte Carlo and Paris that kept fans on their toes. Alcaraz shares the sentiment, preferring the shorter tournaments too.
But the Serbian powerhouse Djokovic isn’t full of sympathy. Though he agrees with the criticism of the 12-day format, he thinks players should have been more involved when decisions were being made. “I’ve noticed many top players oppose the new extended format,” Djokovic said. But he urges them to get more involved in important discussions when they have the chance, highlighting the effort needed to shape the future of the sport.
With the new format already stirring things up, Sinner had to retire injured during the Cincinnati Masters final, which Alcaraz won. Both players then quickly jumped into the US Open mixed doubles, where Alcaraz teamed up with Emma Radacanu but faced an early defeat.
As the US Open kicks off, all eyes will be on these top players to see how they handle the pressure and adapt to the new structure. Who’s your pick for the win? Drop your thoughts below! 🏆✨
