Tim Henman has called for changes to the calendar saying the 12-day Masters 1000 is 'too much' tennis

Former British No. 1 Tim Henman has called for changes to the ATP tennis calendar, arguing that the 12-day Masters 1000 format is 'too much' tennis. His comments come amid a wave of player injuries in 2026, including World No. 1 Jannik Sinner missing the China Open due to a knee injury sustained since Wimbledon, and Carlos Alcaraz having missed the French Open and Wimbledon with a wrist problem. Carlos Alcaraz has also directly appealed to the ATP chairman to address the issue, with players such as Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper also suffering lengthy injury absences this year.
