While I’ll admit I laeuhgd about the too late to play in Laver Arena story at the time, I also knew that he would mature. He’s got a great game, composure, and I like the way he thinks on court. Here in the US, where there’s much gnashing of teeth over the state of American tennis, there is similar attention on Ryan Harrison at the moment. Harrison seems to love playing the villain , though in an all-too-conventional way. If these guys both mature, it could be a terrific future rivalry.
