In the last weeks the tour took place south american of ATP circuit, with the Córdoba Open, the IEB+ Argentina Open in Buenos Aires, the Rio de Janeiro Open and the Chile Openwhich featured the participation of great men, mainly Spaniards Carlos Alcarazwho is fighting to be number one in the world. The heat and passion of the public in the stands led some tennis legends to make a special request: to have their Masters 1000.
“It’s not a popular opinion. South America should have its own swing on the tennis circuit with its own Masters series. The way the fans support the tournaments there is incredible. The incredible atmosphere and tennis is clearly part of their sporting culture. Let’s go ATP !”, wrote Andy Murray, winner of three Grand Slam titles, on his X account (ex-Twitter). Faced with this demand, another historical figure came forward to support it. “Why not popular? You are absolutely right in your opinion Andy! Tennis should go to countries/continents where tennis is booming”he pointed out Boris Beckerwinner of six Grand Slams.
Schwartzman also joined in at Murray’s request
Argentine tennis player Diego Schwartzmanwith a past within the Top 10, subscribed to the request for Andy Murray to have Masters 1000 in South America. “Let’s make it known to the ATP, Andy. Every year they give us less and less support. Not only because of how the fans support the tournaments, but also because of the number of top players we have and have had past, as you know. We deserve more from the ATP. Thank you very much for your words,” wrote Little One.
