MELBOURNE — Questions are piling up, so let’s do a Wednesday mailbag as we always do….from Day Three at the 2019 Aussie Open.
Jon,
Did you notice how most of the top "This-Gen" American men have fallen (Isner, Querrey, Johnson, Sock) before many of the “Next-Gen” cohort (Tiafoe, Fritz, McDonald, Opelka) at the AO? Strangely, this makes me feel better, rather than worse, about the state of American men’s tennis. Also, the future of American women also looks brighter lately (see: Kenin, Anisimova, and Osuigwe).
