"Doubles is for failed tennis players." That's what Reilly Opelka said a few months ago, causing a storm in the ATP circuit due to the lack of respect it implied for fellow professionals. There's no one better to respond to something like this than Marcelo Arévalo, the newly crowned world number 1 in doubles, who understands what's going on. "The best tennis players pay close attention to doubles. They ask me a lot, know my career, and are always respectful. You will never see a top player devaluing doubles. The players who criticize this format are only looking for popularity, social media attention, without any impact. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, or now Alcaraz and Sinner, have never said anything negative about doubles," he commented on Clay Tenis.
