Khach just hitting in the middle of the court 80% of the time

On a scale of 1 (LostGen) - 10 (Djokodal Gen), I'd give them a 4 e.g. decidedly mediocre.

If Fred Gen is about an 8 then I'm hopeful RektGen can be a 6 - it will certainly have no Fed.

Something still looks off from Rafa for me, that look to his camp at 2-0 was a tell.

He felt something *up there* while probing

1 (Useless) - 10 (Djokodal Gen)
I'd give them a 2. Generation Next To Useless
I think Berdych is quite a bit better than Khach.

KK's BH slowly becoming a liability in this match.

Yeah, I'd give Fed's gen an 8. Not a second ATG but a deep pool of potential slam winners.
There's no doubt RektGen will win slams, probably a whole lot of them - someone will have to. Not convinced that any of them are that talented historically speaking.

We need a catchier name but I hope the generation is good enough to make sure that Zverev is at best third wheel in it.

Will Karen choke the TB?

Ohh look, Rafa actually playing against decent tennis player who can actually hit forehands and backhands, instead of some accountant brought from the nearby village.

Nadal is just playing garbage defensive tennis. Even if he gets through this, he will be obliterated by Fed in the SF.
He'll probably won't get any better than the 2017 scoreline.

Geez it was so obvious that Rafa was going DTL why go up the net.

I wonder who coined the generation useless thing. That one really stuck.

Khachanov is nothing but a decent first serve.

No need to be insulted, No one is saying KK is the better player, but styles make for matchups. KK is a decent player, I don't think he's there yet but he's got a big serve and Fed has not played him much, where as he has played Nadal a load of times and been successful the last few.
In Miami 2017 Fed had a harder time vs Kyrigios than Nadal largely due to Nick's serve, even in IW and Shanghai there were worse players than Nadal that pushed Fed harder

Stefanos didn't blow him off the court. It was a tight long match.

Federer must dye his hair, right?
I dont notice any gray anyway.. at his age thats not natural

Absolutely pathetic local park tennis

Stefanos was better. Hit more aces, more winners, less unforced errors and defended BPs way better.
