"You can lose one point but you can still win the match": Top ATP names including Alcaraz, Fritz, Tsitsipas asked why tennis is the best sport
ATP
Some of the top ATP players made interesting remarks about
why tennis remains the best sport.
All these athletes were asked this question during the Omnium
Banque Nationale Canadian Open in Montreal.
In response to that, everyone had a different point of view. Russia’s
Daniil Medvedev said: "Tennis is the best sport… I feel like a lot of
people can play it so a lot of people can relate to how tough it actually is
and is super competitive because you’re one on one against your opponent and
there’s no draw, only one can win."
Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas stated that playing
the sport gives him an artistic feel. "It’s an individual sport that allows
you to fully express yourself and be an artist on the court. Full of
possibilities to create your own path and be the superstar, be the center of
attention," he said.
The world number one Carlos Alcaraz expressed his love for
the individual sport in his response by saying: "I love the individual
sport, you know playing against the other ones.”

Italy’s Jannik Sinner stated his love for the sport because
of small victories and losses within a match. "Tennis is the best sport
because you can lose one point but you can still win the match,” he said.
Denmark’s Holger Rune interestingly said that he loves
tennis because he loves hitting a forehand. "For me personally, I love to
hit a forehand and that’s why I love it so much,” he stated.
World number five Norway’s Casper Ruud was rather poetic in
expressing his love for the game by stating: "Every point kind of lives
its own life. Every match lives its own life."
World number 10 Frances Tiafoe said that the sport helps
individuals understand the culture of different places. "You play in nice
cities around the world in front of nice fans of the world. I think it cultures
you as a human being,” he said.
