Used to giving us humorous and sometimes lunar statements on his social networks, Stefanos Tsitsipas has this time decided to be much more serious by making several proposals in order to improve the circuit and professional tennis as a whole.
While he recommends in particular lightening the schedule or even making greater use of technology, and in particular AI, to prevent injuries or even optimize training, the Greek player explained how these proposals would allow tennis to get up.
“It’s not just a change in schedule, but a change in the way we play. A restructured calendar and the use of new technologies would not only protect the health of players, but also raise the level of competition. More rest means better tennis, which leads to more enthusiasm among fans. If we don’t adapt, we risk losing our stars to early retirements and constant injuries. Imagine how different tennis would have been if players like Rafa, Roger or Serena had been able to play at their best for a few more years. It’s not just about preserving careers, but about preserving the very essence of sport.”wrote the current 12e world player whose full statement is available here.
