I think he will - we're FINALLY starting to see some real players come through after skipping a generation. But whether they can actually go with him for an extended period... that's another story.
He doesn’t quite have the nadal/fed/djokovic dominance to rattle off 10, let alone 20. He’s an incredible player, but I’m not convinced yet that he’s dominant enough to even win like 7 majors.
And going by how he played today, he could easily string together 10 slams in the next 10 years. There's a reason he's going to be #1 or #2 in the world on Sunday.
It’s just absurd to project someone negatively who is 19. If 19 was this magical number Djokovic and Federer would have quit and become painters. He’s still learning how to be a professional on the tour.
Well done Iga - far and away the best female player in the world. But yeah, Ons must be pretty disappointed by that result and losing a 2nd slam final in a row. Hopefully she can keep this run going and break through shortly.
Fantastic sportsmanship from Ruud admitting the ball bounced twice before he hit it. I couldn't imagine that happening in any team sport

Feel for him. Really wish they didn’t ask 34 run on sentence questions to him. Also I agree his English has gotten insanely better.
I do enjoy the banter aspect of the interview process. Just keep the shit simple for people just learning English. I do a lot of international work where people profusely apologize for their English. I say, your English is vastly better than my “insert language”.
