John McEnroe believes that there is going to be a larger variation of winners and will be more like the WTA when these three retire from the sport which he explained during a US Open preview.

“It is clear that none of the youngsters today is going to come close to what we have seen from tennis players like Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, who are true legends,”

“Almost all the new ones play the same way, with a fast tennis pattern, but Carlos has something different. I think the trend of the men’s circuit will be like the WTA, with many players winning."

“If I have to stay with one, I’ll stay with Alcaraz. He is an amazing athlete, but at the same time he is not very tall if you compare him to Zverev or Medvedev"
