Tomas mcak says tennis is changing as US Open Star reacts to Novak jokovic exit Novak jovic's early exit from a US Open was a major shock But Rising Star Tomas mcak believes it's just the reality of the senior players getting old New York after Carlos alarz crashed out of the US Open it looked likely that Novak jokovic would have the chance to clinch a record 25th Grand Slam however he suffered his own major upset 24 hours later while it's given several players a major opportunity to go deep in the competition Tomas mcak's mindset hasn't changed maack 23 eased into the fourth round after a dominant win in straight sets 6 to3 6 to1 6-2 over veteran David goffen and will now face Britain's Jack Draper while maack was on the opposite side of the draw to jokovic meaning they could have only theoretically met in the final the Czech player doesn't fear Novak like some other professionals jovic's loss was damning as it meant that for the first time since 2002 none of the four slams in a calendar year were won by either Novak Rafael Nadal or Roger feder after jokovic won gold at the Paris Olympics many expected him to Coast the US Open but maak highlighted that the tennis icon is reaching the end maak has beaten jokovic this year knocking him out at the semi-final stage of the Geneva open and is aware that the game is nearly at the end of a major transition I think that tennis is changing with the players the youngsters are going up and the older ones are slowly going toward to the end of their careers maak said after beating gofin on Saturday hopefully with this I can make it to the third and fourth rounds more often maack can't have imagined he would Outlast both alcaraz and jokovic but he's enjoyed the best year of his career and has total belief in his ability this kind of season I imagine for sure because I think the level of my tennis is good I just believe in myself and I'm happy with that maak added even if the 23-year-old had crossed paths with jokovic he told reporters he'd be confident of winning I show myself this year I beat Novak the best player in the world so I show myself that I have this kind of level maack said you never know you can lose in the first round or be in the quarterfinal you just have to believe in yourself and your game the upsets in the US Open this year have come earlier than expected but maak believes it's a result of the Olympic Games in Paris ahead of the US Open maak didn't advance past the round of 64 stage at either the Canadian open or the Cincinnati Masters it was so tough after the Olympics so that's why I didn't play good tennis in Montreal or Cincinnati maak said but I was happy with 10 days and my preparation was in Fitness and off the court maac's attention now turns to Draper who made light work of bodic van zanel despite his opponent beating alcaraz in straight sets on Thursday I've played him Draper two times he's a great player and has a bright future for sure and I'm looking forward to this kind of match because I think it's going to be great maak said let's see what's going to happen he has a good serve good return and good movement so for sure he can be a top 10 let's see his tennis is great and it'll be a good match don't forget like share subscribe my channel bubu dos news
