Alcaraz Criticizes Schedule Ahead of China Open

Carlos Alcaraz, despite his complaints about the exhaustive tennis calendar, continues to compete heavily, including his upcoming match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard at the China Open. Alcaraz believes the packed schedule is causing more injuries among players, whereas Jannik Sinner suggests players can opt out of tournaments for rest. Sinner, the US Open champion, is also set to start his China Open campaign against Nicolas Jarry. Daniil Medvedev, another top contender, will face Gael Monfils in the opening round and could potentially meet Alcaraz in the semifinals. Alcaraz holds a remarkable record this season, with titles from Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and Indian Wells. He aims to continue his successful streak in Beijing, where he had a promising run last year.
