Mauresmo Asks For Change in the Tennis Tour

And by ‘change’ I don’t mean dimes, nickles and quarters. The French Tennis champion says that in order for the top players to be at their best, something needs to be done about the tour schedule.

Mauresmo believes the current gruelling schedule makes it impossible for any female player to dominate on a weekly basis as much as the men’s world number one Roger Federer.

“I had a great year but at some points I thought I could have done better,” said Mauresmo.

“After the Australian Open, the European season and the Middle East, I felt a little tired.

“It is tough to stay on top the whole season the way Roger does. He is either being in the final or winning it and that is bound to be tough.”

So far I think she’s done an admirable job at the top, but it has to be truly rough to keep that up.

The tennis tour is really quite crazy. It’s long, it’s all over the place, and I can’t imagine how exhausted those players must be.

Anyone have suggestions for the WTA?
