Alcaraz: Tennis schedule 'pushing players too much'

Carlos Alcaraz believes tennis' relentless schedule is "going in the wrong direction" and feels players are being "pushed" to feature in too many tournaments.

The world No 3, who will play his Shanghai Masters opener on Saturday, was speaking two days after successfully defending the Japan Open for his third title of an injury-hit year which saw him miss four and a half months between April and August with a wrist issue.
