She mentioned how there isn’t a consistency in the names of players winning WTA tours and titles. “I believe the same will happen in men’s tennis as soon as Novak (Djokovic) stops playing, and Roger (Federer) and Rafa (Rafael Nadal) are nearing the end anyway,” she said.

Ferrero talks about future tennis stars
Ferrero has made it clear that he considers the era of the Big Three to be over. However, he still believes that tennis will continue to have top players. “We will see top tennis players for years, like Medvedev, Zverev or Tsitsipas,” Ferrero says.
Reiterating his belief that newer players will keep upsetting the current strong ones, he continued. “But also younger ones like Sinner or Korda (will win). Hopefully, Carlos (Alcaraz) can reach this level as well,” Ferrero said.
