The ATP has reduced the number of mandatory tournaments for players from five to four ATP 500 events, and lowered the ranking points calculation from 19 to 18 tournaments. This change addresses growing concerns over player burnout and an overloaded schedule, voiced by top players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The ATP also introduced a family-related concession allowing players to retain ranking points if they withdraw for childbirth or adoption, aiming to improve scheduling flexibility and player well-being.
