Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, world number one, believes that players sho
uld take responsibility for their own careers, following criticism of the tennis
calendar by Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Briton Jack Draper, and recalled that i
t is not “obligatory” to play all tournaments.
對於最近在吵的賽事太多的議題
Jannik Sinner表示球員要為自己的職業生涯負責
又不是所有的賽事都強制參加
“The calendar is quite long, obviously. But as players we can choose what to pl
ay and what not to play. Obviously, we have some mandatory tests. As a player, y
ou can still choose. This year we have a very tight calendar, there are many tou
rnaments. It is not mandatory to play a tournament,” he said at the press confe
rence ahead of the ATP 500 tournament in Beijing.
Sinner：
賽程顯然很長，但作為球員我們可以選擇要參加哪些比賽，以及不參加哪些比賽
當然我們有一些強制性的比賽需要參加，但作為球員，你仍然可以選擇
However, Sinner stressed that apart from the “mandatory” tournaments, which in
clude the eight Masters 1000 and four ATP 500 a year, players can choose their o
wn schedules.
每年強制是打八個大師賽+四個500
大安迪則是建議球員能抵制年終賽來抗議

Yet if players want to take a stand against the ATP Tour, they can do so by refu
sing to take part in their end-of-season Finals, according to 2003 US Open champ
ion Roddick.
Let’s be done by November 1st,” said Roddick, as he advocated a swift end to t
he tennis season in October on his latest Served podcast.
大安迪認為賽事打到11/1就好
“The entire month of November should be 250s (ATP 250 events) and the top playe
rs would not have to play in them.
11月應該都只排250賽事
高排名球員能直接休息不打
“So play your World Tour Finals and wrap it up. Let them rest of the season and
not have them running on fumes. The players that have played the most have to r
ecover.
“When Carlos is saying it and he never says anything negative about anything sa
ys it’s too much. And they are like mandatory events. Carlos… just stop playin
g the mandatory events. I bet they are not going to throw you off tour. Call the
ir bluff.”
He then added a stinger to his argument that he believes would change the dynami
cs around the scheduling debate, as he suggested players could boycott the ATP F
inals, an event formerly known as the World Tour Finals when Roddick was playing
.
