The wear and tear and the tight schedule that ATP circuit players are subjected to continue to cause some players to put forward revolutionary proposals to address these fatigue issues. If Daniil Medvedev advocated for a circuit consisting of just Grand Slams and Masters 1000 events, now it is Holger Rune, in statements to the French media So-Tennis, who is proposing a different solution: exempting the top players from the first week of the two-week Masters 1000 tournaments.

"I don't have a magic solution, but we could consider that higher-ranked players only compete in the second week of the Masters 1000, which would allow them a full week of rest and training. The new Masters format is excellent for lower-ranked players as it gives them the opportunity to participate in the most important tournaments, but it's a shame that the top players are not being considered. They should also benefit from this new structure beyond the financial aspect, and that's not happening", Rune emphasized, also pointing out that he does not intend to rush a comeback that, if all goes well, will happen in the "near future."
