We had almost all the top 10 drop out of this years tournament for health reasons. I think it was just Nadal and Dimitrov by the time the matches really got going. That gave us a chance to see a lot of the next gen players.

Same was true on the women's side with Serena sitting out. Looking forward to seeing more Sloane Stephens...if she can keep her head in the game.
