The ATP are attempting to crack down after several players stepped over the line this year.

Carlos Alcaraz has been tipped to succeed the legacy of the Big Three to become the 'best ever,' according to a renowned coach.

Rick Macci has since claimed that the world No 11 will go on to overtake Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
Stan Wawrinka’s return to the ATP Tour at the Monte Carlo Masters ended in a battling three-set defeat to Alexander Bubilk, who said he continues to «hate» clay.
