The King is now a major outlier.
Grand Slam Gold Novak Djokovic The last person who has no name Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz Win the Grand Slam singles championship.
In fact, the world’s No. 1 man collectively occupies eight of the past nine Grand Slam teenagers, with only Djokovic’s 2023 U.S. Open victory preventing a complete Sincaraz seat in that range.
Based on the dominance of the world’s No. 1 Sinner and No. 2 Alkaraz, the couple may combine to win all the Grand Slam titles for the next two to three years?
Yes, no ESPN analyst Patrick McEnroe.
Tennis now submits this question to Patrick McEnroe and Mary Joe Fernandez Today ESPN A video conference call with the media began promoting the network’s public coverage from Sunday.
Patrick McEnroe Apart from For this US public.
McEnroe said in a bold prediction that an American would cancel the sinner and win the U.S. Open.
Full disclosure: Patrick McEnroe did not absorb the Open’s famous honey cocktail in this interview, nor did he seem to suffer a craziest dream, approaching the 18th anniversary of the last American team to occupy the Davis Cup.
However, he is really a sincere American-maybe 2023 finalist Taylor Fritz– Will break that ignorant streak and dominate Flushing on September 7.
McEnroe now said to tennis: “I’ll get out of one thing now: the man will win the U.S. Open this year.” “I won’t say which one is because I think there are a few people who have the chance.
“To answer your overall question: I think sinners and Alkaraz will dominate the next three years.
“I think they will win every Grand Slam?
“Something tells me that we were surprised at the Open this year, which is why I’m going to say that there was an American man who won this year’s U.S. Open.
It’s been 22 years since then Andy Roddick Being defeated David Nalbandian and Juan Carlos Ferrero Wearing a Reebok shirt back to back, looking like a New York subway map, won the 2003 U.S. Open. To make the drought in the United States a reality, Ferrero has been part of more Grand Slam titles (5) who have coached Carlos Alcaraz over the past three years.
Despite this, McEnroe is determined, and it’s time for American men to rise and win the U.S. Open.
Mary Joe Fernandez Now tell Tennis that she believes Sinners and Alkaraz will split the Grand Slam in the next few years, but she can imagine 2023 U.S. Open Sheldon breaks the stronghold in the coming years and wins Maiden Major.
“I think these two guys for the next two years are the ones that beat,” Fernandez now told Tennis. “Can people like Ben Sheldon destroy them? Yes, I think so.
“I’m very happy with his progress and seeing him grow into a player. I still think he has a lot of progress. But he has weapons. He’s another real entertainer, a player who really has fun there. But if he continues to follow the path of this progress. He can ruin them. [Sinner and Alcaraz] Really set the bar very high. ”
Indeed, Sheldon has reached the quarter-finals or higher in four of his last 11 Grand Slam appearances and plays the task of mastering professionally like a man.
Good news: Left-handed Sheldon has a deadly serve, a left-handed forehand, happy to close the net when it tightens. Sheldon will score 87% of the shooting percentage this season, ranking fourth on the ATP Tour, behind Sinner (91%), Fritz (88%) and Djokovic (88%).
The bad news: Sheldon’s return game is still in progress. He ranked 46th on the tour, won, and often had more decisive games than other U.S. Open contenders, while his backhand improved, but he still felt stiff and suspicious when hitting a backhand pass on the run.

Still, Sheldon’s love for the big stage and a huge game. He can also convey emotional energy from enthusiastic crowds to dynamic games in court. So, could Sheldon be the one who proves McEnroe’s prediction?
“Tennis seems to have been a sport with young champions, which is not common, and it’s very impressive,” Sheldon said after the Toronto Championship. “Yes, I hope to play a little bit this week, making me more in line with the type of tennis I want to play and daytime.
“It’s certainly going to push me harder. I feel like I have a good grasp of the things that really work for the people I play now, and the best tennis in the world, and the things I need to keep working.”
