Andy Murray says that the best players are "serious" about his request for changes in the tennis calendar - and that some form of strike can not be ruled out.
The players are upset about overcrowding in the schedule and will meet in Shanghai next month to plan their next move.
Murray told BBC Sport:. "And 'you I'm talking about some of the players, not afraid to do that [striking].
"Hopefully it will not come to that, but I'm sure the players will consider it."
Asked if the object of a strike or boycott will be mentioned at the meeting in China, he continued: "Yes I think so.
"If we reach a list of things we want to change - and all agree, but they do not want to -. Then we must have some influence on what happens in our sport yet we have not.
"We sit down, talk to the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the International Tennis Federation (ITF), to see if they come to a compromise, and if not, we go from there.
"We just want things to change, things are really small. Two or three weeks during the year, in some tournaments every year, do not think it's reasonable."
Last year, the ATP chief executive Adam Helfant, who has since decided to leave the Board, announced at the Paris Masters and World Tour Finals will be played back to back, so that two weeks were recorded in the 2012 ATP calendar.
But Murray said: "Right now it takes so long to change things.
"Get second of the changes can take up to five or six years at a rate things are going, and then we'll all be [pension]. We want this to happen as soon as possible."
At the U.S. Open, Rafael Nadal has reached the end position after playing three games in three days chooses. Then there was a day of rest before playing for four hours against Novak Djokovic.
Immediately after the game, was a car in Spain, and four days later, can play a Davis Cup match on September 5.
But the ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti said last week that the complaints about the Davis Cup Nadal program were "inconsistent", said the players voted for the current dates, against the wishes of the ITF, as far back as 2009.
A spokesman said the ATP as recent changes in the price of silver rose in the first eight players together and said goodbye to the best of three finals.
And the organization added, "the players and make a big say in the game is to drive. We are still committed to working with the players and the other governing bodies continue to address their problems."
