Tennis will become more interesting after the careers of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are over

The athlete with a height of 2.11 meters explains in an interview why he believes that tennis will become more beautiful after the representatives of the BIG 3 hang up their rackets.

“They’re leaving, but it’s crazy. That’s all most of us have ever known (BIG 3 dominance in tennis). I’m curious to see how things will look after they’re gone. The list of major tournament winners will be longer and I think that will help the sport.

It will generate interest in more countries, more people. All of Greece will be watching tennis when Stefanos Tsitsipas wins a Grand Slam, and all of Italy will be watching when Matteo Berrettini wins it. I think it will be more interesting” – Reilly Opelkain an interview with Red Bulletin.

Ranked No. 28 in the ATP rankings, Opelka has won four career titles, collecting $4,224,870 in prize money in tennis alone. The tallest 24-year-old athlete (2.11 meters) was 17th in the world ranking.

Rafael Nadal leads the list of Grand Slam titles won with 22 titles. He is followed by Novak Djokovic (21) and Roger Federer (20).
