Alex de Minaur has joined the chorus of tennis voices calling for the crowded men's tennis schedule to be shortened, warning that players are in danger of having their careers ended early with physical and mental burn-out.
His lament came on the day when he cited his own mental fatigue during his surprise exit at Roland Garros to Alexander Bublik on Thursday, and while his Australian colleague Adam Walton was having to battle with a shoulder injury in his loss to Andrey Rublev.
De Minaur then chose the moment to launched a wider broadside about the state of the men's ATP tour program, echoing the complaints kicked off by his Sydney colleague Jordan Thompson earlier in the week.
