Stefanos Tsitsipas wants ATP to be played more on clay and grass, and for tournaments to be held in Africa

In a conversation with the press, the double finalist of the Grand Slam tournaments (Roland Garros-2021 and Australian Open-2023) presented his plan to make the world circuit more spectacular.

So, the Greek believes that the seasons on clay and grass should be increased, and tennis should become available in all corners of the world: important tournaments should take place, for example, in Africa.

“The grass and clay season should get longer. I know there are still clay events in August, but I think natural surfaces should be more prominent in the competition calendar.

Also, I believe that it would be good to take into account the idea of ​​developing tournaments in places of the world where there are not many of them, I mean, for example, the African continent” – Stefanos Tsitsipasquoted by welovetennis.fr.

The Monte Carlos Masters runs from April 9 to 16 on clay, has a total prize pool of €5,779,335, with Novak Djokovic as the top favorite and Stefanos Tsitsipas the champion of the last two tournaments.
