Learner Tien is making his appearance at Roland Garros 2026 with the hope of extending the good feelings he displayed in Geneva, where he clinched the title. The American was asked during Media Day about players from his generation, like Rafael Jódar, revealing what aspect impresses him the most.
"It's quite impressive what's happening with this new generation. Many of these players had little experience on the tour just three months ago, and now they are already achieving great results in Masters 1000 and probably also here at Roland Garros. They have a lot of confidence and really feel that they belong at this level. They have that confidence that makes the transition to the professional tour much easier. Rafa Jodar had a different path because he went to college, something more common among Americans than Europeans. I'm very impressed by how quickly he is adapting to the tour life and professional tennis."
