Carlos Alcaraz is currently competing at the Rotterdam Open, his first tournament since the Australian Open.

While speaking to reporters, the World number three was not afraid to speak his mind and criticised the number of ball changes and different types of conditions on tour, which is leaving players at greater risk of injury.

“I think last year there were many injuries, many players with elbow or shoulder issues. Something needs to change. I know they will change it,” Alcaraz said boldly.

“Every week, practically every week, we have different balls, different conditions, so it’s complicated to adapt to them. However, we are here to give our best and give the best of ourselves.

“I have not had physical problems because of it so far, I work every day to be in shape, right now I’m fine.”
