Mahut on the revival of American tennis: "I wanted to talk about the rebound of American tennis."

Mahut on the revival of American tennis: I wanted to talk about the rebound of American tennis.

Eurosport consultant at the last US Open, Nicolas Mahut recently spoke about the new American generation, which currently boasts 5 players in the top 20 (Fritz, Shelton, Tiafoe, Paul, Korda).

Comparing this golden generation to the era of the "Four Musketeers" (Tsonga, Monfils, Gasquet, Simon), which has now reached the end of its cycle: "I wanted to talk about the rebound in American tennis.

There's a generation with five players in the top twenty, and even a Nakashima who had a very good tournament.

It reminds me of the generation we had with Jo, Richard, Gaël and Gilles. Unlike the Americans, they played with the Big 3.

So I think they'll have opportunities that the French couldn't have had, and they'll pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

They're not yet at the level of the more prestigious American generations like Agassi, Courier, Sampras, Chang... But I sense a little stirring.

I really believe in Shelton. I feel he has the charisma, he feels like a Grand Slam winner.

I see him as more than a Paul or a Tiafoe."
