ATP president Andrea Gaudenzi breaks silence on complaints mounting on complex schedule: 'Can't build a schedule..'
ATP president Andrea Gaudenzi has defended the 'complex schedule' following complaints from various players. Gaudenzi explained why a schedule cannot be perfect. ATP president Andrea Gaudenzi has responded to numerous complaints about the physically demanding schedule, defending it by stating that multiple factors influence the calendar. According to Gaudenzi, the rules of the game ensure that one player will be eliminated while another advances deep into a tournament. Also Read | Doubles veterans dominate singles stars as US Open's reimagined mixed doubles format finds new fans ATP president breaks silence on complaints related to schedule A player eliminated early may not view the continuous succession of tournaments as a problem, as the schedule allows sufficient time to prepare for the next event. However, the situation is entirely different for a player reaching the final, facing a tighter turnaround. 'Our schedule is complex. It's a long season, and reaching the highest level week after week is demanding,' he said in a recent interview with SuperTennis. 'But this is also an individual sport: one player can be eliminated in the first round, another lifts the trophy after the final. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Subsequently, Gaudenzi admits that this complexity does not allow any perfect solution to exist, as the game cannot as the game cannot cater solely to the interests of one group of players. Moreover, he also revealed that everything is not under the purview of ATP, but they put their best effort to form the calendar around the four Grand Slam tournaments. 'Finding a solution that works for both ends of the spectrum is never simple, and you can't build a schedule around just one cohort of players. All cohorts must be considered. We must be clear: the ATP does not control the entire calendar. We work around the Grand Slams, the Davis Cup, and other fixed dates.' The ATP president also highlighted that the sport allows a player to make his schedule and hence one can balance the immense workload by picking and choosing which tournaments to play and which ones to skip. While the players' concerns are relevant, what Andrea Gaudenzi stated also holds value. Thus, it is a classic case with no clear resolution.
