Anderson eyes a Grand Slam title after losing finals to Nadal, Djokovic
In an interview with The Guardian, Kevin Anderson commented on his goals. The South African player, who is making his comeback to the competition this week at Queen's after missing the clay season due to an elbow injury, said: “I’ve made two finals (2017 US Open against Rafael Nadal and 2018 Wimbledon against Novak Djokovic) and I’m up against guys who have won over 30 grand slams between them. But it’s been great for the sport. You have to figure it out. Wishing for something else is futile.”
Anderson also backed gay players to come out: "I try not to get too political. But coming from South Africa, where apartheid was a huge problem and there was lots of inequality, has shaped me in terms of how I view certain issues. You need people to speak up. My wife Kelsey and I did our first charity event for two causes last year and we’ll be doing it again. The first was for a local animal shelter in Delray Beach in Florida where we live and where we adopted our dog, Lady Kady, from. Then we worked with Ocean Conservancy, a company working on sustainability. We focused on a programme called Trash Free Seas. It’s focused on rooting out plastics from our oceans.”
Anderson will open his campaign at Queen's against British player Cameron Norrie.
