With week one of the Australian Open in the books, our SI expert roundtable gives their thoughts on the young Americans, the biggest disapppointments and who they now think will win the title.
There have been some terrific performances from young Americans, namely Frances Tiafoe and Amanda Anisimova. Does this tournament represent a turning point for the future of American tennis, or is it simply one good tournament?
Jon Wertheim: Both are ascending stars. Both have been terrific, showing off not only precocious talent but poise beyond their years. I'm not sure it's a triumph for American tennis so much as it's a triumph for tennis in general.
