Tennis a sport with a predictable timetable, has changed into a tenacious war zone for the current players. The recent challenges and conflicts at the Davis Cup have carried this issue into the spotlight. In a candid interview with Italian tennis coach, Riccardo Piatti revealed insight into the recent difficulties tennis stars face. Piatti’s bits of knowledge dissected a fresh opinion on the tensions that constrained ATP stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. They had decided to make bold choices and skip Davis Cup matches to prioritize their physical and mental well-being.
Professional tennis and schedules have evolved exceptionally over thirty years. During the 90s, players participated in around 30 competitions and had long breaks after the season. Piatti pointed out that it differs greatly from recent tennis. The schedule is nearly year-round, leaving tennis stars with little rest.

Hardly any voice carries the weight of wisdom quite like that of a renowned tennis coach like Riccardo Piatti. With a remarkable legacy and a sharp eye for the game’s development, Piatti’s new comments overlooked the difficulties faced by the current tennis players. He featured his perceptions on the evolving pace of the game and the pressures that modern tennis players must confront.
The elite coach has seen the change of the game from its underlying roots during the 90s to the current day. Before, players had the advantage of expanded breaks toward the end, a conspicuous difference from the present exhausting, almost all-year plan. According to the Tennis World USA Piatti shared, “The breaks were important because a player would stop at the end of October. And now that he wouldn’t think about tennis for two months. Now it’s more difficult.”

The coach also explained,”..because you have to find these moments during the season. But if you go on holiday after Wimbledon you already have the US Open in your head.”
Patti argued that the focus should be on collective progress and triumph, rather than scrutinizing individual choices. He challenged the criticism faced by players like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The coach suggested that the critics fail to consider the demands of modern tennis.

Piatti’s straightforward remarks offered support to these young talents. He brought up that their difficulties are not quite the same as those before, stressing the need to help and support them as they explore the evolving universe of tennis.
