I base my "renaissance" prediction on this: Tennis isn't at its' best either when it is completely dominated by 3 people or when it seems completely random. The drama of tennis at its' best occurs when there is a bigger pool of contenders (hypothesis 10) with different styles, with different personalities, with villains and hero's, conflict and quirks. Despite the beauty and skillfullness of the big 3, their domination of the game has made tennis stale. It's too much the same story for too long. The pool of new talent is emerging and they will cause a renewed interest in tennis. Right now I see that pool as; Medvedev, Thiem, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Shapo, Felix, Sinner with occasional surprises from guys like DeMineur and Coric and even Kyrgios and a couple of people who haven't emerged yet and the occasional servbot. There is going to be a future for tennis after the big three retire, and that future is going to be better.
