nextgen

This is a remaking of the Hitman thread. He appears to have left permanently. Just rebuilding the thread to maintain the numbers. For the purposes of this thread, I'll define "Next Gen" as those players born 1995 and later. I will include the newest Next Gen classes born in the 2000s. Name...

Let's vote and bump this one in a few years. :whistle: Show your best, ttwers. How many they're going to win COMBINED?

It's really interesting how a fortnight can completely change the tour and your perception of players on the tour. For good or bad, by the way, no judgements made here. . Carlos Alcaraz was a known prodigious prospect, but most probably said to themselves, oh he's two years away, if he even...

Who wins The Real Slam, Cincinnati Masters 1000?

I've yet to see one player on a hot streak in Toronto this year, but can the player who breaks through carry that momentum to Cincinnati?

Without looking it up, if I was to tell you that the top 5 NextGen players in win percentage vs the top 10 is: 1. Medvedev 2. Guess this player 3. Tsitsipas 4. Zverev 5. Opelka minimum 10 matches, who do you think this player is?

So what are your opinions?

Both men and women, Now Gen (95-99) and Next Gen (00+) H2H records within that group only. This is a record just within their generations, so for instance Tsitsipas has a 66-27 record against all players born after 1 January 1995. Barty has a 53-15 record against the same. This is up to date...

NextGen or the 1996+ crowd actually had a pretty positive Wimbledon in every aspect except in stopping Djokovic, something that was the most obvious result in the world to predict. But if you look beyond that to the experience gained and the movement up the rankings, it's pretty undeniable...

Matteo Berrettini has the best record at the Slam level of competition of all men born after 1995. Berrettini (30-12, 71.4%) Zverev (58-24, 70.7%) Medvedev (38-18, 67.9%) Khachanov (38-19, 66.7%) Tsitsipas (31-16, 66.0%) Rublev (30-16, 65.2%) Kyrgios (44-27, 62.0%) Shapovalov (23-15, 60.5%) If...

Was looking at the stats that @helterskelter provides for the age of players per round, and it has become apparent that older players are fading quite a bit, but I didn't want to leave it at that without doing some diligence. So I created a table of all players 30 years old at the start of the...

After the Tsitsipas-Nadal match, I was having a convo with someone in a chat who says they can't think of any actual Tsitsipas fans on the forum, and I'd actually have to agree with that. On a forum full of fans of all sorts of players (though mostly the same three), I can't name a single...

How are the youngest on tour, those born on or after 1 January 2000, faring against the formerly dubbed NextGen (1995-1999) crowd? I've identified only 12 NewGen that have played matches against NextGen, but here are the results: Name (DOB) Nationality Matches Wins Losses Win % Felix...

https://www.bandytennis.com/post/forehand-theory-developing-a-virtuous-swing-path After my Musetti post, I sat down yesterday and quickly threw out what a forehand needs, and what it doesn't. Greatness requires gravity and minimal wrist movement to allow SW maximization. Discuss

Hello lovely ladies and Gentlemen, Carl here. First of all, lemme define Hat-Trick for you In sport of cricket, hat-trick is termed as an achievement for bowler when he/she dismisses the wickets of 3 batsmen off 3 consecutive deliveries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat-trick_(cricket) Now...

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"...
