"Tennis players deserve to be treated well, paid well and play less" laments Alexander Bublik amid recent Saudi Arabia announcements

Kazakhstan’s tennis star Alexander Bublik has called for
more money for players as well as less matches to manage the workload.
There have been growing voices in the world of tennis from
the players about how they have been treated in terms of money and how many
matches they had to play every year to maintain their ratings.
There has been talks about the introduction of the ‘Premium
Tour’ which will work similarly like the Champions League football. There has also
been rumours about Saudia Arabia’s interest in investing in tennis.
Bublik was recently quoted in a report where he called authorities
to ensure that not only players get more money for the effort on the court but
also suggested that better scheduling needs to be done in order to manage the
workload and prevent players from burnout and injuries.
"I'm for changes and we've been playing with the same
prize money for 15 years. They're increasing the prize money by 2% and they
think we should be happily ever after. I think the changes are crucial. We need
it and the players need it," explained the Kazakh.
"The players deserve changes, tennis players deserve to
be treated well, paid well and play less. And enjoy the atmosphere more because
otherwise it would be really challenging to play for 11 months straight. At the
end of the year at the end of the year you have just a month off and then you
start again. So I think the players deserve a better life," said Bublik.
