By the end of this year, the tennis world could find itself focusing not just on Alexander Zverev from Germany, but also this 17-year-old prodigy. Justin Angel has set his sights on making a splash in the Grand Slam stage, with the US Open qualifiers as his primary target.
"I'm gunning for a top 200 spot globally by year's end," the teenager declared, eyes gleaming with determination. "Ever since Hamburg, I've been aiming for the US Open qualifiers," he explained, beaming after an inspiring first-round win at the grass tournament in Stuttgart. "I reckon I can make it, if I'm lucky."
Angel, eager for Stuttgart's return: "I can hardly wait!"
In Hamburg, Angel caused quite the stir by defeating Davis Cup player Jan-Lennard Struff on clay. Stuttgart, meanwhile, saw him secure his professional grass debut on Tuesday against James Duckworth in a nail-biting three-set match. One more step towards his dream, he's now gunning for a spot in the quarterfinals on Thursday.
"Can't wait to play under all those peeps again in the next round!" he enthused, ready for his battle against the seventh-seeded and foremost favorite, American Alex Michelsen.
To bag a spot in the Grand Slam tournament in New York, Angel will likely need to boost his world ranking by about 50 places. He's currently ranked 281st.
The final Grand Slam tournament of the season in New York sets up shop from August 24 to September 7. The qualifiers will kick off a week prior to the main event's start.
