In a sport that demands absolute physical perfection and mental fortitude, Lys is calling out the powers that be for pushing players to the limit.<\/p>\n<p>According to Polish journalist Dominik Senkowski, Lys didn\u2019t pull any punches when discussing the physical toll the tour takes. The German pointed out that the \u201cvacation\u201d time for a pro tennis player is roughly two weeks. Moreover, she drew a pretty sharp comparison between how the men\u2019s tour (ATP) is handled versus the women\u2019s tour (WTA). Lys said as reported by Dominik Senkowski on X:<\/p>\n<p>We have a ton of injuries, players who just can\u2019t cope, who don\u2019t have the right mental fitness. The tournaments are too long. In tennis, the off-season period is definitely way too short \u2013 two weeks for vacation. I think the way men\u2019s tennis is presented is fantastic, and we\u2019re completely lacking that. We have equally amazing rallies.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the injuries, the burnout, and the trolls, Lys isn\u2019t quitting. She\u2019s slated to represent Germany alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alexander Zverev<\/a> at the United Cup in Australia to kick off the 2026 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"German star Eva Lys has become the latest player to roast the current state of affairs in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-345890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
