Winner of the Australian Open last January, Madison Keys went into a new dimension. The world No. 5, which comes out of an elimination in the quarter -finals in Madrid, took the time to discuss several subjects at a press conference.
Questioned about the current state of tennis among ladies and gentlemen, the American replied this: “More and more, we see that there can be twenty different players who can win a tournament. That it would not be a surprise. I think it is partly due to the fact that we have lost certain legends.
Serena Williams is no longer in each table, and we knew she was the big favorite to win everything. Among men, we no longer have Roger, Rafa and Novak every week. But I think the basic level has increased and that the margin of error has decreased.
You can see it in certain victories and defeats, which are increasingly tight. If the two players play well, the match will be fantastic. I think everyone has improved. The game has become much more physical.
Everyone is investing in their career by recruiting physiotherapists, fitness specialists … There are now more players who are faster and stronger and who remain healthy for more time. »»
