Many tennis players, both male and female, raised their voices regarding the schedule in tennis. Among the famous names that rebelled against the current schedule are Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz and many others.
Although famous analysts have come to the defense of tennis players, believing that they have the right to criticize the current schedule, there are also some who disapprove of the players reactions.
Kim Clijsters has addressed the current scoring system, believing it should be changed, but at the same time stressing that the current schedule is crucial for lower-ranked players.
She believes that this is a complex situation in which there are many barriers and obstacles that are difficult to overcome. The former tennis player believes that many things are still going in the right direction, without being as pessimistic as some players tend to be.

Ultimately, she believes that the organizers and hosts of the tournament really have a strong ambition to do the right things. Clijsters is aware that it is difficult to please everyone, considering that the tournaments in November and December are necessary, because most players do not have the opportunity to play a lot of matches during the year.

In the end, she drew a line, stressing that a bigger or longer calendar is simply part of the job and it's something that comes with it.
While her comments are likely to provoke criticism from professional tennis players, she firmly believes she is telling the truth.
