Stefanos Tsitsipas, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Holger Rune are among the most interesting young tennis players, and the popular magazine GQ did not miss the chance to have an article and some pictures about them. The magazine stressed that they represent the new golden era of tennis. However, none of them had the run they were hoping for at the current Australian Open, with Stefanos Tsitsipas being the only one to reach the quarterfinals.
