Cincinnati Ljubicic

The Cincinnati Masters 1000 took place under complicated weather conditions for the players, and many competitors were forced to withdraw.

Among them, Jannik Sinner, who had to forfeit his final after playing 5 games against Carlos Alcaraz.

For Ivan Ljubicic, the ATP's organization is questionable: "When the Masters 1000 events lasted one week, players could better manage their recovery and training time.

Now, it's much more difficult. What we saw in Cincinnati is deplorable. I don't understand why they insist on playing in this heat and humidity.

Athletes risk injury and the fans aren't having fun. Something needs to be done.
