Tim Henman has taken aim at US Open chiefs regarding the controversial mixed doubles tournament.
He believes it lacked the right amount of Grand Slam prestige and was also frustrated that it took place the week before the singles tournament.
“I think that is disrespectful for the tour events that are taking place on the WTA and ATP Tour in the week before the US Open,” Henman told The Telegraph.
“We’re trying to get the sport to collaborate better. In my opinion, it’s not helpful. I would make it an exhibition.
“There are rules in place for exhibitions, that’s the difference – and you can’t have exhibitions within a certain distance of main tour events.”
