In the extensive press conference granted by Andrea Gaudenzi this Thursday in Turin, where he analyzed in detail the present and future of the ATP calendar, the possibility of granting two byes to the best players in the world at Masters 1000 tournaments was hinted at. In order to reduce the competition time for the top favorites, an exemption of two matches would be granted in these tournaments, giving them direct access to the third round.
