Novak Djokovic has made his second plea in as many months for a scaled-down ATP calendar.
"The schedule is our main issue," said the member of the Player Council headed by Roger Federer and also including Rafael Nadal. ""The Council and ATP in general, we're all working together towards some better solutions in the future."
Djokovic voiced his opinion just weeks after giving tentative support to the controversial proposal for a bi-annual, two-week Nations Cup event which would have to draw most top players into the field and is subtly designed to eliminate the annual Davis Cup.
"I cannot say I have the toughest schedule because more or less everybody, the top players, have this kind of schedule," said the Serb. "It's a big subject, you just have to accept it the way it is even though it's crazy... changing after one day indoors, outdoors, different surfaces.
"You can easily get injured. And then couple months pass by without you playing the tournaments and from number two of the world you go to number 15.
"And then what happens, you know? You start to lose a lot of things. People don't pay attention to you anymore. But this is the cruelty, you know, this is the reality of today's world. It's just the way it is."
