We have a bright future for the American tennis (talking about ladies) as the Sloane Stephens will definitely break (and remain) into the top ten.
This is at least according to John McEnroe that in a recent interview said “I think hopefully it’s cyclical. We’ve had a pretty dry spell in the men. In the women we’ve had the Williams sisters and Sloane Stephens… she’ll be in the top ten for sure. I think she’s pretty close already,”
Waiting for the next big one
“Everyone in America and in other countries are looking for that next great player. The more that the game becomes accessible to youngsters and hopefully sexy in a way for kids to want to play in America — I can’t speak for every country. It’s not that affordable.
“We had a great run for many years. You look at Australian tennis for example, they have an incredible history and they’ve been wondering.
“But they’re a lot smaller country so there seems to be no reason why we couldn’t find some players. We gotta find athletes and people who have the opportunity. You have to give more people the opportunity, it’s really as simple as that.”
