Changing of the guard is happening, says McEnroe after Roger Federer loss
John McEnroe used four words to describe the current situation that tennis is going through at the moment. 'Changing of the guard'. McEnroe believes that Stefanos Tsitsipas's win over Roger Federer is marking the breakthrough of the new generation over the older guys.
In an on-court interview, speaking to Tsitispas himself, McEnroe also said. "From an old serve and volleyer, you hit the ball great from the baseline but your volleying skills are absolutely amazing so I want to thank you for bringing back some net play for the next generation."
The 20-year-old replied: “I am inspired by you. Coming to the net, being aggressive and taking to the ball early, we have to keep it going. Most of the player in this era of the sport are baseliners and I really like the aggressive game of coming to the net. It keeps the game alive and it makes it much more interesting.”
