Tennis has been dominated by the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic in the men’s game. Despite these guys being in the twilight of their careers, they still give the young players a hard time on the Tour.
However, with the success Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev have had this season, it may be just a matter of time before these young ones begin showing their consistency on the Tour.

Recently, Danish tennis player Holger Rune felt that the young players will challenge Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic on a regular basis. He stated, “Well, that’s the plan. I hope so, I hope the young guys will, also me. I’m telling myself also to come and take over and see some new guys up there. We have already seen some new guys like Zverev, Medvedev even though they’ve been on tour for a while now. But still, it’s just great not to see Roger, Rafa all the time, and Novak, even though they’re probably the best of our sport.”

Rune felt it was good to see the big three not winning everything. However, he did consider them as the best players to have played the game. He grew up watching these guys compete against each other, producing some of the best matches in history. He commits to giving it his all whenever he would get the opportunity against either of them.
The 18-year-old added, “We miss those matches when they play against each other. But it’s good fun, also for the audience, to have some new blood into it and, and some new energy for sure. Also, for us, it’s fun, because we’re so young and we’ve always looked up to these guys and looked up to those tournaments to play them. And now we’re finally here. So it’s about giving everything we have and really doing as well as possible.”
