# Tennis: World number three Carlos Alcaraz plans to take longer breaks between tournaments to avoid a repetition of his four-month injury lay-off. The defending champion is still on course for a third US Open title after reaching the third round. The 23-year-old Spaniard says the current demands are impossible to keep up with. He says the governing body, ATP, is just adding more and more tournaments, leading to about 40 out of 52 weeks of the year on court, and lots of players are getting injured or tired.
