Rafael Nadal has voiced a thought of having an optional portion of the long ATP season.
"Maybe you could have nine months where it is obligatory to play and three months where you are free not to", the Spanish world No. 2 told London's Guardian."In those three months there could be tournaments – but not decisive tournaments which affect your ranking".
"But we have the sponsors to consider. The ATP want to do it but I think it's going to be better for the next generation than for us".
