• Scrutiny of the schedule intensified after world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the Shanghai Masters to rest and multiple injuries were reported at the China Open.
• Djokovic reiterated his long-standing opposition to extending Masters 1000 events, arguing longer durations cut into recovery time for most players.
• He acknowledged organizers’ case for expansion, with supporters saying larger draws increase opportunities, attract investment and can raise prize money.
• The PTPA, which Djokovic co-founded, has an antitrust lawsuit against the ATP and WTA in U.S. federal court, and both tours have filed a motion to dismiss.
