Famous tennis figures reacted to the extension of the WTA and ATP tournaments. Opinions are divided when it comes to the new format, but world number one Aryna Sabalenka also had an interesting take.
In an interview with Tennis365, Sabalenka revealed whether she prefers a system where the tournament is played over 12 days. The Belarusian tennis player believes that two-week tournaments are probably better for her, as they give her an extra day to recover.
However, there are times when she would rather play a one-week tournaments.
In the end, it can be said that the famous tennis player indicated that a lot depends on her schedule, how many tournaments she plays during the year, whether she is rested and whether she has an injury.

When you play a two-week tournament, you don't have much space for rest and training, but such a format still brings certain benefits during the tournament itself.
Paolini, just like her colleagues, believes that everything depends on several factors.
Tennis governing bodies will certainly introduce changes that they believe could elicit the best response, both from the public and from professional players. However, the question is whether these changes will be beneficial for everyone.
In any case, there will still be those who are dissatisfied.
