\u201cIt is different and more difficult with the Grand Slams because each of the biggest tournaments we play, negotiates separately which sponsor they will have for the balls, but this also happens on the ATP tour. Every tournament has the right to negotiate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we simply have to find a way to unify, so that in each category on the ATP tour we have one ball to play with, depending on the surface. Sometimes that change of balls happens three times in three weeks depending on where we play, & it affects the health of the players & the joints themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn that sense, I support the players complaining and asking the ATP to find a way to resolve it. They have to find a solution… I didn’t see that the ATP issued any statement regarding the player’s complaints, and these are things that are incomprehensible to me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you have tennis players from the top who are trying to reach you in public and say, \u2018Hey, let’s talk about that topic,\u2019 you have to make a statement, address them and say, \u2018Okay, we understand, let’s sit at the table, let’s talk.\u2019 I don\u2019t understand why there is silence from their side.\u00a0<\/p>\n Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive tennis news<\/strong><\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
