Djokovic, Mannarino, and Struff: A Longevity Record at the US Open
Although youth has taken over the ATP Tour now, three players aged 35 and over are present for this second week at the US Open.
These three players are Novak Djokovic, Adrian Mannarino, and Jan-Lennard Struff. This is the first time since 1982 that three players over the age of 35 have reached the round of 16 in New York.
At that time, these three players were Robert Lutz, Jaime Fillol (grandfather of Nicolas Jarry), and Ilie Nastase.
