Week two star: a Spanish teenager.
Brands (never mind other sports) would kill for this kind of breadth.

Her second-round match against World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit surpassed those numbers by tending to 29,959 eager spectators.

Brands would kill for this kind of depth - Journalist Jon Wertheim on veteran Serena Williams and teenager Carlos Alcaraz s performances at 2022 US Open
By Pranjali P. Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Jon Wertheim on Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz headlining the US Open Renowned journalist Jon Wertheim eulogized the presence and performances of both Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz at the 2022 US Open on Saturday. Wertheim, the executive editor of Sports Illustrated, was asked about his opinion on the dynamic variety of tennis stars taking center stage at Flushing Meadows. While the US Open has always served as an event where new players have introduced themselves to the world, the veterans are equally revered. The retiring Serena Williams and budding youngster Carlos Alcaraz have grabbed the limelight in New York this year. With Williams and Alcaraz's performances in mind, among others', a fan asked Wertheim for his opinion on the depth in the sport. “So on the same year we have seen players who are around 15 years apart writing tennis history. What does it tell us about the deepness of the sport??” the fan asked. The 51-year-old opined that brands would enjoy having such a diverse age span do well in the sport, as seen by Nike sponsoring the likes of Williams and Alcaraz. “Week one star: a 40-year-old american woman. Week two star: a Spanish teenager. Brands (never mind other sports) would kill for this kind of breadth,” he replied.
