Felix Auger-Aliassime has claimed that some of his rivals have “completely lost their tennis perspective” as they complain about the ATP calendar.
A number of the sport’s biggest stars have vented their frustration about the amount of events they have taken part in this year, including world No. 1, Carlos Alcaraz. However, Aliassime relishes in the challenge.
He is quoted by Tennis World USA as saying: “I don’t know how guys don’t enjoy it, to be honest. I think they lost perspective completely.
“I get that you can get tired. I’m tired, too. I do trips around and I go see different circumstances around the world. I mean, we’re just lucky and blessed. In my humble opinion, every day I wake up and I enjoy. I enjoy that I’m here.
“Even if I lose matches, it’s okay, I’m p***ed for a day. I don’t know. If you want to play less tournaments, stay home. Nobody’s forcing you to be here.”
