What has been best about this period, above all, is that it’s been about success rather than failure. Instead of Slam-less No. 1s, we’ve seen Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki make major breakthroughs. Instead of young players failing to measure up, we’ve seen Andreescu and Osaka rise to the biggest occasions. Tennis always has a future, and it should be fun to watch this one continue to take shape in 2020.
