Hall of Fame
Here are some stats I found:
The 2010s was the first decade in men's tennis history where no player born two decades prior (1990s) won a slam
WTA players born in the 2000s have more slams than ATP players born in the 1990s
David Ferrer has beaten Nadal more times at HC majors than Federer has (and both of Ferrer's came during Nadal's mid 20s while Fed's happened when Rafa was in his 30s)
The last four WTA slam winners (Swaitek, Osaka, Kenin & Bianca) were not alive when Venus Williams made her first slam final (Venus is in the draw with those four in Melbourne this week)
Gaston Gaudio lost more sets in his first two matches during his 04 RG title run than Rafa has the last 5 times he's played at RG (Rafa won the title 4 times during this period while being 30+)
Stan Wawrinka has beaten the big 3 more times at majors than Murray has
Martina Hingis won all five singles majors before either of the Williams sisters won their first (Hingis is younger than Venus and only one year older than Serena)
Boris Becker won all his Wimbledon titles by age 21 (if he was American, he wouldn't have been able to celebrate any of his titles with a night out afterwards)
Stefanos Tsistipas already has more wins at RG than Roddick did his whole career (Stefanos is only 22)
Kim Clijsters has 3x more majors as a mother than she did before having her first child (her stretch between 09 USO and 11 AO gets overlooked a bit)
Michael Chang spent nearly a decade as a top 5-6 player on tour but his lone slam win came when he was just 17 (he couldn't even vote yet at the time)
Nishikori and Raonic have never won a tournament above 500 level (even guys like Sock, Fognini and Khachenov have won a Masters title)
