Brisbane, Australia: World number one Aryna Sabalenka accused tennis authorities on Thursday of failing to put player welfare first over what she called an "insane" tennis season.
Speaking at the year-opening Brisbane International, the Belarusian said she was prepared to be fined for missing mandatory tournaments in the months ahead.
The number of events in the tennis calendar has been a frequent complaint in recent months among the sport's biggest names.
Men's world number one Carlos Alcaraz is another to have voiced concern about the amount of tennis he plays, although he has also signed up to feature in lucrative exhibition matches.
He faces great rival Jannik Sinner in one such event on Saturday in South Korea, barely a week before the Australian Open.
