Actually, this is so true! Don't know what it is about this generation of players, but I rarely look forward to any match nowadays, especially when it is going to be a baseline slugfest. Back in the day, you would get such a "buzz" when any one of those on the list (perhaps include Borg and McEnroe?) were about to play, regardless of the tournament,
