Taylor Fritz da su punto de vista sobre el apretado calendario: "Las exhibiciones no son comparables a los torneos ATP"

There’s always been calls to have a smaller tournament schedule but it’s a hard sell when in off weeks players chase $$ exhibitions. Then you factor in those playing on future and challenger tour, who might need those “off weeks” to play and make the little money they can.

I agree that its tough for the tour to shorten the schedule when players will just play Exos to fill the time, and I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing some of the players asking for a shorter season because they go and play Exos. I don’t understand that part of the argument,

Yeah I agree with this. I have no problem with players looking to play exhibitions, especially given the limited time an athlete has to capitalise their wealth. I think it’s up to the tour to financially be able strong enough where players aren’t incentivised to chase exo’s.

In my opinion if players would make decent money during the season they wouldn’t feel the need to play exhos in off weeks. Instead, players (aside from maybe top 20) only make decent money 4 times a year (slams). So it’s a no brainer for players to go play echos for good cash

Agreed. The stronger the tours the less incentive there is to do exos. I think the goal as a whole is to strengthen the tours (men and women) to the point where more people are making more money and capitalising on their window. Can understand why people play exos to compensate.
