US Open: Carlos Alcaraz planning more breaks in 'impossible' tennis schedule after more than four months out with a wrist injury

Carlos Alcaraz has spoken out against the demanding tennis calendar, calling it 'impossible' for players to compete in every major event without risking burnout or injury. The Spaniard returned to action at the US Open, where he is defending his title, after more than four months out with a wrist injury sustained in April. Alcaraz announced he will take more breaks from the tour going forward, pointing to the absences of other top players as evidence of the schedule's toll.
