"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

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."
