'It's too much': Alcaraz demands end to late-night tennis
Carlos Alcaraz and Andre Agassi are advocating for significant changes to Grand Slam scheduling, particularly to avoid late-night finishes that impact player welfare and fan attendance. Alcaraz's US Open campaign ended in a 3:33 a.m. finish, prompting his call for matches to conclude by 11 p.m. Agassi supports guaranteed downtime for players, highlighting a broader push for improved working conditions in professional tennis.
The debate over the overcrowded schedule and grueling night sessions in tennis has received a powerful new impetus after tennis legend Boris Becker publicly backed Carlos Alcaraz's call for a match length limit. The German six-time Grand Slam champion responded to the world No. 2's suggestion by simply writing "Amén" on social media platform X.
Spain's third-ranked tennis player Carlos Alcaraz is tired of playing late at night at the Grand Slam tournaments and is calling on the organizers to finish the game before 11 p.m. His US Open duel lasted until 3.33 a.m.
