We may be seeing the beginnings of a new generation of tennis stars. This US Open broke its all-time attendance record.
September 11, 2022 ~ 19-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz beat Norway’s Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1) and 6-3 to win his first Grand Slam and become the new world men’s #1. He is the youngest ever men’s #1. Alcaraz has risen to the top of the sport in just two years. He is originally from a small village near Murcia, the city between Valencia and Málaga on Spain’s Mediterranean coast.
September 10, 2022 ~ Poland’s World #1 Iga Świątek beat Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6(5) to win the US Open 2022 women’s championship. It’s the 21 year-old’s third Grand Slam title. She won the French Open in 2020 and 2022. She’s on a hot streak having won 37 matches and six titles in a row. She’s been so dominant that fans are calling her “Iga’s bakery” for all the bagels she makes (6-0 wins). Iga just may be the new dominating force in women’s tennis. 🇵🇱
August 25, 2022 ~ The current World Rank #6 Novak Djokovic has withdrawn because he cannot enter the United States without being vaccinated.
August 9, 2022 ~ Six-time US Open champion Serena Williams announced her coming “retirement” from tennis. All eyes are on her, hoping she can be a champion just “One More Time.”
