SHANGHAI (AP) The ATP Tour says it may shorten its 11-month season by two or three weeks in 2012 and 2013 to give players more time to rest and help them avoid injuries and burnout.
The ATP board of directors will meet during the ATP Tour World Finals in London next month to vote on schedules for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Some of the proposals being considered would shorten the calendar by two or three weeks.
The top players have advocated for a shorter tournament calendar for years.
