The Teenager Revolution: Why Tennis Is Getting YOUNGER Again

Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim break down the youth movement that took over Roland Garros 2026, headlined by 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva's dominant title run in Paris. From her transformed serve to a fully well-rounded game with multiple game plans, the guys dig into why Andreeva looked poised, physical, and inevitable through the second week. They also explore tennis's surprising return of teenage stars — João Fonseca, the rising Brazilian phenom Gauthier "Gut" Miguel, Iva Jović, and others — and ask the big question: why is a sport that keeps getting more physical suddenly producing mature, star-powered teenagers again?
