#NextGen ATP Finals

This is kind of pathetic and sad, a dumbing down of tennis for the underperforming #NextGen, although I understand why the ATP is doing it (they're worried about the future of tennis after #OldGen). There will be a world tour ATP finals in Milan for the best players 21 and under.

It is kind of like bringing back the amateur / professional divide, where #NextGen are the amateurs and #OldGen are the pros.

They'd do well to hold a #LostGen tour finals for the Raonic, Nishikori, Dimitrov gen in their mid twenties.

Nextgen may make it to the real tour finals by next year whereas there's no hope in sight for this other bunch.

Come onnnnnn. The lost generation has made WTF. They've just struggled to show up at major finals. There needs to be a #LostGen Tour so they can actually win majors and masters 1000 titles.

But they're probably holding the #NextGen finals in Milan hoping that if a young guy wins his first title in Milan that they could be the next Federer (his first title was in Milan).

I came across an article about a 'young masters' tournament held in Stuttgart the week after the 1986 YEC in New York. Becker was entered(and he made the final of the real masters the week before. Edberg and Wilander did not enter. It was for 21 and under players)

Looks like it's very possible Zverev will qualify for both YEC's.

Where did you hear about Tsitsipas? I just checked his Twitter feed and there's nothing there. Also the NextGen feed says nothing. So, it looks like he's going.
