While Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner posed with a smile holding the champion and runner-up trophies of the Beijing tournament, news came from Shanghai that the part of the draw shared by the Spanish and Italian players will kick off this Friday. In other words, Alcaraz and Sinner will have less than 48 hours of rest between this final and their debut in another Masters 1000. Another example of how poorly organized the ATP calendar is. Thus, Carlos and Jannik will have to fly early tomorrow to Shanghai, which is a little over 1200 km away from Beijing, and train briefly on Thursday to acclimatize to the conditions on the day before their debut this Friday, having very little rest for it. Nonsense.
When we were talking about how poorly organized the ATP calendar is, it's for things like this.

After winning in Beijing, both Alcaraz and Sinner will play their debut match in Shanghai (1200 km away) THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!
Less than 48 hours. Then they complain. Understandable. https://t.co/7KNWLXLzWN
