Even if in a few years, the Big 3 players will no longer tread the courts of the circuit, the next generation is awaiting firm footing. This is what Guy Forget mentioned, not worried about the rest of world tennis.
The members of the Big 3 are closer to the end of their career than the beginning. And to replace them, several players will have to take over quickly. The new generation of tennis, including Daniil Medvedev Where Stefanos Tsistipas seems to take precedence over Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Guy Forget is not worried about the turn of events and is almost certain that a handover will take place.
“Wimbledon and Roland Garros are unmissable events which will continue to thrill young players”
“We grew up with Borg, McEnroe and Connors. It was monumental what these players brought to the game, to tennis. In France, we had nearly 2 million licensees. Tennis exploded during this time. And then we were like, “What’s going to happen when these boys stop playing?” And then after them, we had Agassi, Sampras and then a small drop. And then Roger arrived, then Rafa and Novak. And we say to ourselves: “better than that, it is not possible”. I believe that there, the big tournaments like Wimbledon and Roland Garros, are unmissable events which will continue to thrill young players. So there will be a little dip in the wave when Roger, Rafa and Novak stop, but I am optimistic that people will continue to queue to vibrate in front of Porte d’Auteuil or Wimbledon ” explained the director of Roland-Garros in comments relayed by We love tennis.
