The calendar issue continues to be the subject of debate at the top of the circuit, especially in a week that celebrates the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition tournament that no one wanted to miss (perhaps due to the mere one and a half million they take home just for participating), despite an extremely demanding Asian tour in terms of physical demands.

Complaints about the packed calendar keep resurfacing from all players. One of them is Taylor Fritz, who is currently appearing from Saudi Arabia. The American player addressed this controversy these days, while also trying to understand the reason for the significant difference between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner compared to the rest.

- Taylor Fritz comments on the level of Sinner and Alcaraz

"Certainly, beating Alcaraz helps me. I played a great match and it gives me a clear idea, I suppose, of what I need to do and what I can do to make things work," said Taylor Fritz to Tennis365. "Sinner and Alcaraz are two incredible players. They motivate me to keep improving and become a better player to try to compete with them."

"When I played against Carlos at the Laver Cup last year, he played super well and I felt like I couldn't do anything. I felt like I had no chance. This year, in the Laver Cup and in the Tokyo final, I felt that the level was much closer, and I feel like I have gotten much closer."

- Taylor Fritz analyzes his chances of winning a Grand Slam

"If you look back, midway through the season, since we finished on clay, I would have signed up for it. I was having a tough year. I wasn't playing my best, sometimes getting injured. The second half of the year was great. I feel like the Grand Slam can come at any time. It's just a matter of everything aligning during those two weeks. My level is there when I play my best tennis. I just need to fit those two weeks."

- Criticisms of the calendar and exhibition tournaments

"The downside is the extremely packed calendar. You have to choose these types of exhibition tournaments, that's the tricky part, but when the calendar allows it, it's a lot of fun. Regular tennis viewers will follow it, but I hope more people will join in as well."
