Two years ago, in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic, Patrick Mouratoglou was worried about the future of tennis, with fans that he saw as increasingly old. It was with this in mind that he launched the Ultimate Tennis Showdown, an exhibition that revolutionized the format. Two years later, the event has been renewed, but it is clear that tennis seems to be going well. The prize moneys keep on breaking records, the public is there. Another striking indicator is the googles searches. In fact, of the ten most searched athletes on Google in 2022, four are tennis players.
This incredible statistic is the witness of the good health of this sport. In addition, despite his spectacular retirement at the Laver Cup, Roger Federer does not appear in this ranking. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal hold the lead. The different events at the Australian Open, with the expulsion of the Serb from the territory and the victory of the Spaniard, are probably not for nothing. In third place appears Serena Williams, who certainly finished her career. And in tenth place, the phenomenon Carlos Alcaraz is showing his face. This is very reassuring for the future since he is the only young athlete mentioned.
