most of them didn't have 20+ major titles and change the sport...

The sport is still the same.

Actually tennis is losing popularity and less people are playing at my tennis club.

My older tennis club where I used to play every Tuesday and Thursday is now closed and is being converted to an Archery club.

Another tennis club near where I live is now converted into a Futsal club.

This is Queensland, Australia, where Rod Laver grew up.
 
Wonder when Karlovic (43, last played at 2021 US Open) and Del Potro (34, last played at 2022 Argentina Open in February) will finally add their names to this growing list?
 
Del Potro and Karlovic should announce their retirements soon, Karlovic hasn't played since the US Open last year and we know about Del Potro.
 
We shall miss Anderson and his unique ability to pigeon away grand slam finals and to play in them like he was in R1 of a 250 event...

Well, playing the GOAT will make you look mediocre. e.g. 2010 Wimbledon finals and 2008 French Open finals

Lest we forget, Wimbledon 2015, R4, 5 sets vs Djokovic, lead 2-0.

Also, beat Federer.

These pigeons always put up greater resistance in R4 and QF, but in finals they wet themselves and play below their ability.

Just how it is.
