Nick Kyrgios has expressed his unhappiness with the clay-court tournaments that take place during the hard-court season, saying it is not good for the sport.
The hard-court season traditionally runs from the start of the year until the end of March and then resumes in July. However, in recent years several clay-court tournaments have taken place in between the season-opening Grand Slam, the Australian Open, and the Sunshine Double (Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open) in March.
Kyrgios voiced his concerns about the calendar on Twitter following a tweet about Gianluca Mager jumping to No 77 in the ATP Rankings after finishing runner-up at the ATP 500 Rio Open over the weekend.
“If you think to have all these clay-court tournaments whilst we are in the midst of the hardcourt season is good for the sport and the future of tennis continue to argue,” he wrote.
