DC Edit | Future of tennis is here already

Deccan Chronicle  

The US Open showed more than glimpses of the future as two young champions in teenager Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek asserted themselves in the two sections to win titles even as Serena Williams, the all-time great of women’s tennis, took her bow after winning 23 Grand Slam titles. 1 in tennis history and the first teenager to win a Grand Slam after fellow Spaniard Nadal in 2005 — is ready to challenge the trio of greats who have dominated men’s tennis for two decades. In coming through the test while showing great volleying ability, suggesting basic aggression, and loads of stamina in surviving three five-setters and two set points in the third set in the final against the Norwegian clay court specialist Casper Ruud, the Spanish lad seems to be the "Real McCoy" among emerging youngsters. The three-time Grand Slam winner seems to have the game to dominate women's tennis since the one before her who came like a comet, Naomi Osaka to win four Grand Slam titles when young has fallen off a bit after caving in to the intense pressures of modern tennis.
