Godsick admitted that some people on the tour are not overly optimistic about the interest that men's play will bring after the Basel native's departure from tennis.
"A tournament director recently told me that there are two types of tennis tournaments these days, those where Roger Federer plays and those where he is not present." It's a very nice thing to say for Roger, but overall it's not great for the future and smooth running of tennis because you want more parity.
But I think that with Nadal, Djokovic and some of the young players who will be playing tennis, it will be very good. As Roger always says, there will always be a new number one. Another person will hold the Grand Slam trophies.
Tennis has always had the ability to create global superstars. When it was Borg and McEnroe, they said, "Ah, it will never happen again." Sampras and Agassi then came.
"Ah, it will never happen again." Then Nadal and Federer came. It just happens, and that's the beauty of tennis, "said Godsick.About what makes the Laver Cup so special, the American added," This is a fun event for all participants.
Fans see a format during a weekend they do not normally see. If you're a fan of Federer and want to see him play at the US Open, when does he buy his ticket? The first day on Monday? And he could play on Tuesday.
The finals? He could lose sooner. This is a problem with tennis. Nobody really knows. What we can provide you with is three days during which you know that your favorite players will play.
And they will not only play single games, but will also create unique double teams that are not normally seen on tour. "
