We don’t have time to work on stuff or live peacefully because from one tournament we’re going straight to another: Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek said athletes are not being heard when they express health concerns
Swiatek said the packed tennis calendar is making it difficult for athletes
Each player expected to compete in 20 tournaments in a season
It’s nothing new for tennis players to worry aloud about their sport’s overcrowded calendar, too-tough season and too-short offseason.

No. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek added an additional complaint this week at the US Open: Athletes are not being heard when they express concerns about potential harm to mental and physical health caused by having more tournaments that run longer and new rules that require participation in more events – and, she added, those athletes are not being consulted enough by the professional tours.
