As another year comes to an end we are closer to the retirement of the big three and
Donna Vekic believes that things will change quite a bit in tennis once it happens.
The Big Three have dominated tennis for many years and a lot of tennis fans don't even remember a time before this era began. Any era comes to an end and this one will be no different and despite fans hoping to see it for as long as possible realistically, we are a couple of years away from it ending. According to Donna Vekic, things will change quite a bit after that.
"In women's tennis all matches are very hard, there are no more easy first rounds. They all play tennis very well; this is why it is so difficult to find a real dominatrix. I think very soon the same will happen in men's tennis too, as soon as
Novak Djokovic,
Roger Federer and
Rafael Nadal stop playing."
It's a fair point by Vekic claiming that tennis will have a lot of parity with no player clearly dominating but with the rise of many talents things could quickly change. Only time will tell and for Vekic time is of the essence. The Croatian was slowly able to make her way back after an injury finishing up with a title in Courmayeur. On that she said:
"It was an extremely difficult path, many things happened: first the injury and then the surgery. The
recovery was really long and tiring, but in the end, I ended the season
with a success. I am looking forward to 2022, I want to be ready and
healthy to return to playing tennis without pain. Title to Courmayeur?
It was proof that all the sacrifices were not in vain."
She finished up with:
"It showed
me that training and work are still worthwhile. Surely this victory
proved to be an extra motivation for me, to think positively for
everything to come. My new coach Luka Kutanjac? Luka brought a new air
to the team, a positive attitude that helped me a lot from the start."
