They play incredible tennis. I think that French Open final was unreal. I think the game, not that it needed it, but it was great that we had it. I feel like for a second, for a moment, the world stood still in the sporting world and watched towards Paris, what was going on in that epic fifth set because it could have ended much, much sooner obviously for Jannik,” said the 44-year-old according to the ATP Tour website. “Then all of a sudden it ended up …

This weekend, after 20 years, Rafael Nadal wouldn’t be competing for the French Open title. Novak Djokovic will be there, but in a way, he too isn’t in the competition to take the Cup home. At 38, he looks too jaded, too uninspired to win five-setters on clay against Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the 20-something stars ready to conquer the world. Generational shifts can take a toll on fans. It’s tempting to get wistful about the end of tennis’s golden age, entertain thoughts of staying aloof to the happenings at Roland Garros.
