2024 in review — Big Two dominance in 2024 marks start of a new dawn

The Hindu  

For the first time since 2002, none of the iconic Big Three — Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer — captured a Grand Slam singles title. “When I play good tennis, I think that level is good enough to win.” It certainly wasn’t anywhere near “good enough,” as Sinner outplayed Fritz 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 to become only the fourth man in 50 years to win his first two Majors in the same calendar year. WADA may suspend him for a year or two.” SABALENKA DETHRONES SWIATEK IN NEW TENNIS WORLD ORDER “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown” – Shakespeare’s King Henry IV Part 2. “Two Grand Slam finals in a row was crazy to believe, I think, no?” admitted the little Italian, who was overpowered by Swiatek 6-2, 6-1 in the French Open final. She goes for her shots.” A year after smashing two rackets in the locker room following her loss to Gauff, Sabalenka hugged and kissed her silver trophy and told ESPN, “I think I’m the happiest person in the world now.” Gauff, who split with Brad Gilbert and hired Matt Daley after the US Open, salvaged her otherwise disappointing year at the WTA Finals.
