USA’s top-ranked men’s player reflects on his goals, the future of the sport, and Wimbledon’s ban on Russian players
I’m motivated to keep having results and keep putting myself in those types of situations where I can play those matches. That one hurt because I wanted it so bad. I felt like I put in all the work, I felt like I deserved it. I really felt like I was going to win the match the entire time until the very end.
Because of the ban on Russian and Belarusian players, no rankings points were given out at this year’s Wimbledon. How do you feel about that?. I think it was unfair that those players weren’t able to just play representing no flag. [Russia’s invasion of Ukraine] has nothing to do with them.
You have mentioned in the past that you wanted the ATP to be more accepting of players showing their personality during matches. The Nick Kygrios v Stefanos Tsitsipas Wimbledon match had a lot of thingsI think the refs probably allowed too much. It was all extremely entertaining and that’s the point that I’m trying to make in all of this is that tennis needs to be more entertaining and stuff like that is entertaining, but there’s levels to it.
Yeah, for sure. I think there’s probably so many kids that want to play tennis because of Nick. Or, at the very least, there’s so many people that are my age that don’t know much about tennis, but they know Nick and they’re like: “Yeah, that guy is super entertaining. I don’t like tennis, but I like watching him.” It’s stuff like that that is going to bring younger, newer fans.
