nextgen

To date, none of the NextGen players (for these purposes, we'll say that includes players Medvedev's age and younger) have so much as made a QF at Wimbledon, so it's hard to predict who among them will have the best chances to collect Wimbledon trophies going forward. But based on their games...

Not particularly comparing to big 3, but the whole generation of decent players before the Tsitsi-Sascha-Shapo-Felix-Khach-Berrettini generation, with Daniil Medvedev being the only possible exception. This is a pattern amongst almost all of the nextgen players, their return as a shot is pure...

It is the 1st slam of 2020s and probably the most hyped due to multiple factors, given below. 1) Fedal slam race is the closest it could be 2) Djokovic's form in question, though it remains to watch if he's able to defend his fortress yet again 3) Massive improvements in the forms of Nextgen...

Not necessarily. 2019 4/9 or 5/9 2018 5/9 2017 5/9 2016 5/9 2015 7/9 2014 7/9 2013 8/9 2012 8/9 2011 7/9 2010 4/9 2009 6/9 2008 5/9 2007 7/9 2006 6/9 (pre-Djokovic) 2005 8/9 (pre-Djokovic) 2004 3/9 (pre-Djokovic/Nadal) If Djokovic, Federer or Nadal win Paris in a few weeks then...

An interesting stat to think about before the US Open final. Lets count: Barcelona 2017 final – Nadal v Thiem 6-4 6-1 Madrid 2017 final – Nadal v Thiem 7-6 6-4 Beijing 2017 final – Nadal v Kyrgios 6-2 6-1 Barcelona 2018 final – Nadal v Tsitsipas 6-2 6-1 Rome 2018 final – Nadal v Zverev 6-1...

So, here we are again. The final of 2019 United States open, last grandslam of the season, with 2 best performers of NA HC season playing each other once again. It's 27th grandslam final for Rafael Nadal & a 5th final at USO (W 2010, 13, 17. L 11). It's the very first grandslam final of any kind...

Let's go H2H 1-1 , 1-0 on HC for the russian

The lost gen...... The mid gen....... Even the next gen struggles the most against this guy. In general, everyone has an awful record against all of big3, not just nadal. However, against nadal, they are probably the worst. Every hyped up youngster is pummelled into submission by nadal. They can...

Does "Next Gen" struggle more with double-faulting than any other generation of players? We've seen a ton from Felix 2A, Zverev, and even Tsitsipas, Khachanov a bit. Maybe I'm just noticing it more b/c I'm working through it currently too but the last few weeks seem like it's everywhere singles...

Currently, no player younger than 31 has a slam title. That means none of the pros in their 20s hold even one slam title between the lot of them. Nothing short of shocking. Is this the first time EVER that a decade passes without ONE slam being won by a player born two decades earlier? I.e...

So, I am soon to be a first time father, and even though I am not ready and clearly panicking, I am excited on many levels. However, I am a sports guru and want my son (or daughter) to be competitive at a sport. No, I will not be like Agassi or Tomic dads, but I will try to put them in the best...

FAA has just made Stuttgart atp250 final. Probably the only nextgen guy who can be a grass specialist as well. (Had my hopes on sascha when he made back to back halle finals, but...) I couldn't watch any of his matches so I'd depend upon all of you guys to know about his game elements this week...

I don't want to jinx things, BUT, Marty Laurendeau has been off for 4 months now with a back injury and 19 year old Denis is trying to find his way. His mother has been a wonderful coach, but he needs someone at this critical juncture to step in and help him deal with some of his "problems"...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2018/01/07/australian-open-2018-mens-game-will-survive-departure-big-four/ One leading coach – who preferred not to be identified – told the Daily Telegraph that the young pretenders are made from very different stuff to their ageing predecessors. “These kids...

Excuse me if a thread exists already and has fallen off the front 5 pages. So here's the deal, and a wise one it is, to foster interest in the youngsters that soon will inherit (please!!!) top rungs in the game: A race identical to the regular race to London will be open to all players born in...

Just state which you think will be the breakthrough for the next generation. Add the year and player you believe will accomplish it.
