Greg Rusedski reveals who can break Nadal, Djokovic and Federer dominance

Former US Open finalist Greg Rusedski believes next generation of tennis players may be ready to make a breakthrough next season. Rusedski identifies two players who are ready to shine in 2019. “We have been waiting a few years for one of these youngsters to make a breakthrough and now we are seeing some evidence that two guys are knocking hard on the door,” Rusedski told us. “One of these youngsters is going to come along and do something special and what we saw from Karen Khachanov winning the final Masters event of the season suggests he could be ready to take the next step. “We are also waiting to see what happens with the Zverev and his decision to bring in Ivan Lendl as his new coach could be exciting in 2019. He played so well at the ATP finals in London and that may be something of a breakthrough for him as he looks forward to next year. “Sometimes young players need a moment to convince themselves that they can play at the top level and Zverev has had a few of those moments in 2018, so we can expect a lot more from him now. Don’t forget, he is only 21 and has a lot of years ahead of him in the game.”
