Tennis Is Getting Too Long | Amarillo News

The U.S. Open is stretching into a third week, with players complaining about the relentless schedule and packed calendar—some joking it’s headed to Saturday starts. The USTA CEO’s push to turn it into a four-week event has only added to the strain, as top players struggle to recover between events. Even with extra days off after wins, tournament mode never truly ends. Last year’s Sunday kickoff and “fan week” drew massive crowds, but most top singles stars skipped the mixed doubles slot. This year, they even added a qualifying tournament for last-minute spots. Meanwhile, Masters 1000 events now stretch ten days, making it harder for players to keep up. Many are calling it “tennis Disneyland”—more events, longer stretches, less rest—and locker room consensus? Tennis is just getting too long.
