Grueling schedule highlighted as Carlos Alcaraz runs from the stadium to the airport
Carlos Alcaraz said on Thursday he had no time to celebrate becoming the China Open champion thanks to the grueling tennis schedule, rushing straight from the stadium to catch a flight to the ongoing Shanghai Masters. Alcaraz defeated world number one Jannik Sinner in a grueling three hours and 21 minutes in Beijing on Wednesday evening, but was already at a press conference in Shanghai around noon the next day. The 21-year-old has previously said the men's tennis schedule is “going to kill us” and that “we have to do something about it”, but appeared to curb his criticism on Thursday.
“The tennis schedule is so tight, we travel from tournament to tournament with only one or two days before the tournament starts, so it is difficult, but we have to get used to it,” said the Spaniard.
He told reporters that he had to take all his luggage to the stadium before the Beijing final, and only had time to hold a press conference and shower before “running” to the airport.
“I just did everything in a hurry… we arrived here super late in Shanghai, so I couldn't sleep as much as I wanted,” he said, adding that it was 4 a.m. (2000 GMT Wednesday) when he arrived. to the eastern Chinese city.
Alcaraz will play his first match of the tournament on Saturday against Shang Juncheng, who became only the second player from China to win an ATP Tour singles title when he won the Chengdu Open last month.
“I'm going to approach the match the same way I do every match, I'm going to prepare as best as I can,” Alcaraz said.
“I hope to keep playing the same way I'm playing and let's see what happens, but I'll be ready.”
Sinner will also play in Shanghai, with many seeing the rivalry between the two as the new story of the men's game.
“We're not good friends, but I think the respect we have puts us in a position where we have a very good relationship,” Alcaraz said Thursday.
Novak Djokovic is also looking forward to the trophy, having won four times previously in Shanghai and is aiming for a 100th singles title.
