Many tennis players aren't happy with their busy schedules, but they also emphasize that their bodiesfeel the serious consequences of frequent tournaments.
Famous tennis star Andrey Rublev emphasized in an interview with Tennis Bolshoi that he needs a break. Rublev admitted that he feels great off the court, but constant tournaments and training have exhausted his body.
I need a break, a real one, said Rublev, as quoted by Tennis Gazette.
Im too worn out, too exhausted, tooburnt out, so I definitely need a break. But thank God, off the court Im feeling really good, better and better. So its just a matter of time before it shows on the court as well.

In an interview with the media, the Russian player also revealed when he started feeling that way.
Probably at the start of the China swing, I fully noticed it after the first tournament.
Busy schedule
Many tennis players face injuries due to their busy schedules, complaining about this system, but it seems that ATP leaders have no plans to change anything. The Russian tennis player openly spoke about his needs, saying that he needs a break in order to focus on some things outside of tennis.
The public reacts, believing that the 27-year-old is suffering from burnout.
Popular tennis players sometimes have an excessive desire for success, and such a desire can make you burn out and create additional problems for yourself.
I just need a pause. But we decided to at least finish the season somehow and then just take a pause, however long it takes, whether its weeks, a month or more, said Rublev.

Just take a pause, stop thinking, and take a rest from tennis. Because Ive dedicated my whole life to tennis, and Ive never had the chance to live outside of it. So I need to take that pause now to live a life outside of tennis.
Rublev is currently 17th on the ATP list and has only one more tournament remaining on his schedule the Paris Masters. The Russian tennis player has shown throughout his career that he really has a wide range of qualities, but it is also obvious that his body suffered the consequences after a difficult season.
