ATPWednesday, 17 July 2024 at 07:00
Following his outstanding victory at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Carlos Alcaraz has decided to add a new tournament to his schedule next season and compete at the Rotterdam Open.
An ATP 500 event, the Rotterdam Open is beloved by fans and players alike. It features a prestigious list of champions, ranging from Arthur Ashe and Bjorn Borg to Roger Federer and World No.1 Jannik Sinner. The Rotterdam Open is set to run from February 3-9, 2025, which could possibly interfere with Alcaraz's participation at the start of the South American swing that season.

With the Italian being the defending champion and also scheduled to compete at the event, there is the potential for Alcaraz to resume his budding rivalry with the reigning Australian Open champion. The Spaniard holds a 5-4 lead in career meetings, although the two have never met in a Grand Slam final.
Alcaraz and Sinner are both set to compete at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, with the Spaniard confirmed to play alongside compatriot Rafael Nadal in the men's doubles event. Nonetheless, Alcaraz will have his hands full in the singles competition, as he could square off against the likes of Sinner, Novak Djokovic and 2021 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Alexander Zverev.

- Why ask Gauff?, she is not going to get a late round match for sure. It is the players like Iga, Aryna, Elena are the ones who they should be asking. They are ones the tournaments tries to get out of the way to make a clear path for Gauff or Pegula.crissy26-08-2024
- What an amazing game, a credit to both players and a shame that one had to depart so early in the tournament. QZ edged it on the basis of some outstanding serves, but AA's game was tough to crack - her backhand was almost unplayable. These two have set the bar very high, lets hope it continues. Thanks to both players and congratulations to Qinwen.
NJP2K126-08-2024 - Emma hasn't applied to Oxford, she has stated that certainly for the time being tennis is her priority - and that the amount of tennis she plays will be her decision. By the end of this calendar year, she is highly likely to be in the top 40 of the WTA rankings and consequently will not need to rely on qualifying or wild cards. She can enter 20 events per year, or 30, as is the right of all players. The phrase 'part-time' doesn't apply, even more so when being 'part-time' earns you in excess of $10 million per annum!NJP2K126-08-2024
