Berlin: Carlos Alcaraz hit out at the tennis calendar on Saturday, claiming the schedule is "going to kill us".
The 21-year-old French Open and Wimbledon champion is currently taking part in the Laver Cup, his 14th tournament of the year.
Before arriving in Berlin the Spanish star had already played 50 singles matches in 2024, winning three titles and also collecting a silver medal at the Paris Olympics.
"Probably they are going to kill us in some way," Alcaraz said Saturday after defeating Ben Shelton in straight sets at the Laver Cup.
Alcaraz said that players had different opinions on the topic, but in his view "the calendar is so tight", adding "right now there are a lot of injuries."
