Former US Open champion backs the complaints of Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz regarding congested schedule

Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz have been vocal about tennis scheduling throughout this season and have been backed by many players.

Former US Open champion Sloane Stephens has recently supported Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz in their concerns about the crowded tennis schedule. Both Swiatek and Alcaraz, currently ranked World No. 2 in their respective tours, have spoken out against the limited recovery time between matches on the tour.

Stephens pointed out that one of the hardest parts of being a professional tennis player is feeling forced to play in tournaments even when they aren’t mentally prepared. She explained that players often compete because they need to keep their rankings or meet sponsorship commitments.
