Tennys Sandgren speaks on possibility of playing Tokyo Olympics
USA's Tennys Sandgren says representing his country at the Tokyo Olympics would be a dream come true.
Sandgren, who turned professional in 2011, enjoyed his best on the Tour in 2019.
This past season, the American won his maiden ATP title at the ASB Classic in Auckland and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 41 in the world.
Sandgren, now ranked at No. 68 in the world, is currently the sixth-highest ranked American.
When asked in his interview with the World Tennis Magazine about the possibility of playing the Olympics, Sandgren said: "It would be amazing. It’s always been a dream of mine to represent my country in that way and one that felt kind of far-fetched as far as it becoming a reality. It seems as if I might be close. If I can play well and put myself in a good position, then it may just happen.”
A maximum of four players from each country can be selected for the Olympics.
John Isner and Sam Querrey, who are both ranked above Sandgren, declined to play the 2016 Rio Olympics.
