Too soon?

So glad the media isn't putting their usual pressure on a mere kid only to tear him to tiny bits later when things aren't going well for him, he "lets his country down," or at some other whim of their convenience.

Yes, already a bit over the top...hope he learns to ignore it

I hope João has the humility to see how absolutely absurd this is or the sense of humor to come onto court dressed as Jesus.

Gee, I thought he was a tennis player that won a 250 tournament this week.
How fool of me.
I wonder if they will tear down the Christ of Corcovado statue and put his there, instead.

Serious here. I wonder if they even came close to this kind of hyperbole when BHM won those grass court tournaments a few years back.

If the top players want to see a change to the schedule they need to stop playing tournaments that they don't want to play.

Do they have that option,? I don't think so

There are penalties for missing these tournaments, but those penalties are so small - some bonuses, and ranking points - that it wouldn't significantly affect the top players. The ATP boycotted Wimbledon in 1973, and it changed the way the sport was governed.
