Is Pro Tennis Actually Getting Better? | Monday Match Analysis

October 19, 2026 · 1 h 28 min

Show notes

On Monday Match Analysis... is professional tennis right now the best its ever been? Gill Gross brings on four expert friends from other sports to help discuss. Results don’t help us here. We cannot have 2007 Roger Federer play against 2025 Carlos Alcaraz. We can have 2026 Novak Djokovic play Jannik Sinner, but we can’t have 2011 Djokovic play Sinner. That makes this question… frustrating. It is so obvious to me that in order to investigate this, we have to broaden the scope and LEARN from how other sports grapple with the same exact question. Plus there’s this… if every other sports is definitively getting better, then what are the chances tennis is the lone exception? On the contrary, if there are other sports that aren’t getting better. Maybe tennis is one of them.
