Are Mussetti/Alcaraz/Sinner/FAA also part of the Next Gen?

[Entername]

They're obviously next-gen in a sense that they are next in line for being top players but would you consider them as part of the next-gen as in Medvedev, Zverev, Tstitspas, etc.

 

[Kralingen]

Yes and no. It depends.

No, they are Gen 2000+, and they aren't here just to play games. They want hardware.

= nextNextMugGen

Eggdal = newGen 3.0

Musetti / Sinner / FAA be like the scarecrow, tin man, and the lion

Musetti wants a brain, Sinner a heart, and FAA wants courage

 

[The Guru]

We need a new name for Next Gen though I will admit the name Next Gen is good in a funny ironic way. The idea that they're always "next" makes it apropos. That being said I think they need a new official name so we can use the term Next Gen without confusion. I suggest Tall Gen cuz Zed/Med/Berr/Stef are all tall and they are the most relevant players of their Gen.

Liked cuz it's funny but I think Musetti is a smart player in general.

Yeah the whole thing was a bit of a reach

 

[Aabye5]

They already have hardware -- or one of them does, but the others are closing in. Sinner, for example, has done better than Zverev at the Slams at the same age. Even Musetti arguably has done better.

@Meles dubbed this generation #DiamondGen. The Next Gen Fs was created during the rise of players like Zedrot, Citybus, and Mad Lad. So, that generation is permanently known as #NextGen even though they are in fact not next gen but current gen.

 

[DSH]

After Nadal retires, the best clay player of the decade will be magician Lorenzo Musetti.

Yes, @Meles created an arbitrary system rather than looking at their ages, as has been the case for previous generations.

Nah, Sinner and Musetti need fewer injuries, FAA needs a chill pill.

#CrapGen?

If transition Gen and lost Gen aren’t crap gen then we can at least give these guys a semi respectable name.

Transition Gen including Fed? Don't be ridiculous now. The floor is yours for a semi respectable name.

New Balls Gen is Fed Gen. Transition Gen is Guga Gen. Gens names I see used:
American Gen: (Pete, Dre, Courier, Chang, Goran)
Transition Gen: (Guga, Moya, Rios, Haas, Costa)
New Balls Gen: (Fed, Hewitt, Roddick, Safin, Ferrero)
Golden Gen: (Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, Stan, Del Po)
Lost Gen: (Thiem, Nishikori, Raonic, Dimitrov, Kyrgios)
Tall Gen?: (Med, Zed, Stef, Berr, Ruud)

Stork Gen?

 

[ibbi]

No. It's a complicated thing to quantify, and there are always exceptions, but a tennis generation is like 4 years. No generation that includes Medvedev, Khachanov, Coric, etc. also includes guys born from 2000 onwards.

 

[Tennfan123]

TTW needs lessons on what a generation is

 

[tex123]

Musetti is the new Federer.
Alcaraz is the new Nadal.
Sinner is the new Djokovic.


I hope.

Nextgen. Lostgen. Mugs. All TTW invented jargon.

Lost Gen: (Thiem, Nishikori, Raonic, Dimitrov, Kyrgios)
Tall Gen?: (Med, Zed, Stef, Berr, Ruud)

I have almost the same distribution, but with different names:
-New Ball Please Gen (1979-1983): Federer, Roddick, Safin, Hewitt, Ferrero,
-Nadalovic Gen (1984-1988): Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Wawrinka, del Potro, Cilic
-Lost Gen (1989-1993): Nishikori, Raonic, Dimitrov, Goffin, Thiem (yes!)
-Original Next Gen (1994-1998): Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Berrettini, Ruud
-New Next Gen (1999-2003): Alcaraz, Sinner, Auger-Aliassime, Musetti, Shapovalov.
-Next Gen 3 (2004-2008):

Stork Gen?

Maybe Poly Gen because they are the first to grow up with Poly?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

The gang of Sinner, Alcaraz, Musetti, Rune etc? Man they are the nextgen now.
Its beyond ridiculous to consider Zed, Med & Tsi as NextGen now, given that all of them are above 21 yo age & into top20 already for some years.
