We know it, Reilly Opelka always says loud and clear what he thinks. This time, it was the organizers of the Grand Slams who took it for their rank. All, except those of Roland-Garros. The reason is simple, the latter is the only Major where all players have been able to compete. At theOpen d’Austalieand presumably to the next US Open, non-vaccinated people could not go there because of the restrictions imposed by their country. HAS Wimbledon, the All England Club has chosen to ban Russians and Belarusians. As usual, the American was not tender in his remarks. Yet far from being a fan of clay, the 24-year-old qualified Roland-Garros of “only true Grand Slam“.
US Open – When Roger Federer won 5 US Open in a row
“All the others have been in politics”
“I’ve enjoyed all four Grand Slams at different times, but right now Roland-Garros is by far the best. Clay is my least favorite surface, but I love Paris, and it’s the only Grand Slam that has done it right in recent years. All the others have been in politics. Australia didn’t allow Novak Djokovic to play, but I think they will allow the Russians to play. The French allowed everyone to play, Wimbledon bans the Russians but allows Djokovic to play and the US Open bans Djokovic but not the Russians. So Roland-Garros is by far the best Grand Slam. For me, it’s the only real Grand Slam now.“
