World tennis right now is in a transition phase. Over the past two decades, we have seen players like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Serena Williams dominate. While Serena retired after the US Open this year, Federer followed her almost a month later. 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz won his first Grand Slam while Iga Swiatek recorded her third, the time has come for the new generation to take it forward. However, the current generation of players still has that desire to play alongside their idols. Recently, in a video from the Tennis Channel, young tennis players including Nick Kyrgios, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Grigor Dimitrov, Daria Kasatkina, Jelena Ostapenko and Alison Riske-Amritraj, spoke about one tennis legend they would love to share the court with.
