next gen

Hello, Long time player, but recently gotten back into Tennis. One thing that is bothering me about is the constant talk about "Modern Tennis". Every racquet review video mentions it. All the swing/tactic/technique videos and posts mention "In Modern Tennis X is preferred". Shorter swings, more...

With Jannik Sinner's victory at the US Open, he now becomes the 5th active male player to be a multi-time GS Winner, behind Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz and Wawrinka. Djokovic (born 1987) - 24 slams Nadal (born 1986) - 22 slams Wawrinka (born 1985) - 3 slams Alcaraz (born 2003) - 4 slams Sinner...

Hey guys! This is my first thread on TTW, but I’m bored on a Thursday afternoon and trying to kill some time before Djokovic-Sinner. Zverev’s performance against Alcaraz yesterday had me wondering - who in your opinion is the most *talented* player out of the NextGen? It goes without saying but...

The big 3+1 are just a magnificent benchmark for anybody out there. Brilliant players with a very long career and a huge amount of data. I was recently looking at the tactic section of the Tennis Abstract homepage and I think there is a lot of interesting basic stuff to discover. I sorted first...

Was watching the Sandlot... I couldn't resist [Grigor Narrating] Even though Fed loved weak competition, he was still plenty mad about us next-gen not winning more... ruining his Slam Records. So I didn't feel too bad when he beat me 10 times straight.. instead of the rest of my life. Wow...

From the start of 2022 to now, we’ve seen the next gen go a combined 1 win, 12 losses vs Djokodal aged 34-36 Rublev is 1-1 (that 1 being when Djokovic was just back from his long break) Zved is 0-1 Berry is 0-1 Stef is 0-4 Meddy is 0-5 Kyrgios, who is just about too old to be next gen but who I...

Has Ruud surpassed the following Next Gen players in your view of the current pecking order? Medvedev? Zverev? Tsitsipas? Berrettini? Rublev? Pick all players you honestly think Ruud has surpassed.

ATP H2H: 7-3 for Tsitsipas Clay H2H: 3-0 for Tsitsipas How do you see this match? Stef is a better clay court player, but Sascha is more successful in Madrid, winning 2 titles. I'm expecting a three-set battle.

Whenever one tries to climb out and make it to the absolute top, others pull them down. Take this week as an example. Felix had a good chance of FINALLY winning his first title. He only needed to beat Shapo, whom he beat the last two times and had a leading H2H over, and then Tommy Paul who was...

Lots of discussion of the NextGen pecking order this week. What do your rankings look like? Tier I Medvedev Zverev Tsitsipas Tier II Berrettini Rublev Hurkacz Shapovalov Sinner Tier III Ruud Auger-Aliassime Norrie Humbert Khachanov Sonego Opelka Korda Tier IV Bublik Davidovich Fokina Fritz...

Which tennis player would you like to have as Roger's opponent in his last match of his career? Who do you think should send Roger into retirement? Should it be Djokovic or Nadal, one of the two greatest Fed rivals? Anyone from Next Gen or Thiem? Or anyone but Zverev? You have two votes in the...

H2H: 5-1 for Stefanos Since their match in Toronto 2018, Stefanos has dominated this rivalry, winning the last four matches, the last three without losing the set. I predict the victory of Stefanos in two sets.

I think it's time for us to formulate some hypothetical (mythical, uninjured, peak, sodomized etc.) Top Trump cards for the NextGen SUPERSTARS. To kick things off, I propose the following defining attributes to reflect their abilities, each of which can be ascribed a score from 1 to 10. Overhype...

ATP H2H: 2-1 for FAA Stefanos is a defending champion, he can earn his 5th ATP title and first time in his career he can defend the title at the ATP Tour. Felix will strive to profit the premier trophy at the ATP tournaments, he lost his all previous 4 finals without winning the set. Who win...

This may not be a burning issue, and I won't start an unscientific poll, but... Do you like the look of the court without the doubles alleys, dislike it, or it really makes no difference to you? For me, I'm in the dislike camp. Has anyone played on a court without the doubles lines? Was it...

... who reached the GS final. Before Zverev, Tsitsipas, Kyrgios and other members of Next Gen. Furthermore he is only the third GS finalist in the men's singles, born in the 1990s (after Raonic and Thiem).

Again, we have here a question of how far Sascha will advance on the GS tournament. He equaled in this year his best result so far, when he advanced into QF on RG (lost with Djoker), but in another GS tournaments his maximum is 4R, at the US Open even only 3R. Will this year's US Open change...

So Djokovic could possibly equal Federer's slam tally in a few years (still a big if), but who will be the biggest obstacle facing him in the year 2021 and beyond? I think Felix will most likely be the biggest obstacle for Djokovic once he gets into the top 10. IF there is someone I left out...

Tsitsipas vs Shapovalov

ATP H2H: 2-2 tied H2H on the clay: 1-0 for Sascha Battle Ultron vs. Zod, Chapter 5 First confrontation at the Grand Slam level between Ultron (world number one and ATG player) and Zod (leader of Next Gen). Will Ultron continue successfully to reach on the way for its second NCYGS, or will Zod...

Only previous mutual match: 2019 Barcelona 2R, Jarry won 3:6, 7:5, 7:6(5) This year, Sascha does not show convincing performance on the courts. Jarry looks good in Geneva, hasn't lost a set in previous matches. I predict that Jarry will win today, how do you see it?

As you all know, the ATP has decided to change the venue of the ATP World Tour Finals for 2021 and beyond as it has been held in London for a decade already. 4 cities were in the final discussion for this event : Turin, Manchester, Singapore and Tokyo. According to former players on the...

ATP H2H: 1-1 tied GS H2H: 1-0 for Raonic Last mutual match: 2017 Wimbledon 4R, Raonic won 4:6, 7:5, 4:6, 7:5, 6:1 The first mutual match on the hard surface and the second on the GS tournaments. Achieve Sascha his second QF on GS tournaments or will Milos stop him?

ATP H2H: 2-0 for Djokovic H2H on HC: 1-0 for Djokovic Last mutual match: 2017 Eastbourne SF, Djokovic won 6:4, 6:4 First time in career Medvedev advanced into the 4R at GS tournaments. Will he improve his GS max or lose with king AO?

Tennis ATG Player vs. Next Gen Star First singles mutual match.

Shapovalov, de Minaur, Chung, Auger-Aliassime or someone else? Who gains their first ATP title next year and who doesn't? Discuss and predict. Footnote - Chung's title from of 2017 Next Gen ATP Finals is not rated as ATP title. List of tennis players who have won their first ATP singles title...

Khachanov, Medvedev and Rublev are all promising young players. It reminds me of the French 10 years ago when Tsonga, Monfils and Gasquet were also full of promises. Unfortunately, these guys never won Grand Slams. Do you think the Russians will follow the same way ? My opinion is that they...

With the big three sweeping the last two years worth of slams and all being over the age of thirty I am wondering what the next generation are communally lacking to cause a real threat to the veterans. I speculate that maybe it's something to do with the world in which these younger players live...

My wife and I are heading to Milan, Bologna, and Turin in November. We are excited to watch the up-and-comers battle, but is there any good place that non-Italian speaking recreational people could hit? I am a USTA 4.5 and she is a 3.5 - rallying for an hour is fine. The weather is likely to...
