Six years? That is too long imo. It is true that the current crop of young players seem lacking in talent but there will be somebody who will come in and step up to beat the top four for sure by six years from now! The top four won't be playing in six years from now, they will all be retired! There will be a junior or two who will come in by that time and step up or one of the guys now who is "ify" such as Raonic may be step up or even Tomic if he can ever get his head together.
Who knows how long it will last, but I expect it will be another 3 or 4 years atleast. Raonic and Tomic are 1 slam calibre players at best IMO. The rest of their age group arent even worth talking about. Maybe the generation after that will hold more promise but people I have talked to arent impressed with the current juniors either. The next really good generation will come at some point but they arent on the near horizon of arriving either.
The lack of any decent up and coming talent has been a trend for a number of years now. Donald Young was the youngest player in the top 100 and had never lost to a player younger than him only a couple years ago. Donald freaking Young!
