This will surely turn out to be a boon for the next-gen players. For years now they have remained in the shadow of the ‘Big Three’, but now none of the three members can possibly claim the US Open 2020. Moreover, former US Open champion Marin Cilic too exited the tournament yesterday following his loss to Dominic Thiem.
This means we will finally get a new Grand Slam champion on the men’s side this week. Naturally, Sascha is hoping for the best for himself but knows he is far from the only one vying for a Major.
“Right, we will see a new GS-Champion. More young player will see their chance – I’m not the only one. I just hope to start playing my best tennis and try to develop that. And then let’s see.”
