Annabel Croft and Greg Rusedski discussed the merits of changing the ATP schedule after Rafael Nadal was forced to withdraw from the Paris Masters through injury.
Nadal, who secured the year-end world No 1 ranking on Wednesday, announced in a press conference on Friday that he was withdrawing from the Masters 1000 tournament in the French capital after sustaining a recurrence of a knee injury during his three-set victory over Pablo Cuevas on Thursday.
Rusedski does not believe the 16-time Grand Slam champion will take a risk in London if he is not fully recovered, while Croft was also sceptical on the Spaniard's chances of playing at The O2.
Conversation soon went onto the demands of the year-long ATP schedule, the increasing number of cases of high-profile players taking an extended break from the tour and whether changes need to be made to the scheduling of tournaments on the ATP calendar.
