Is there going to be a whole mens generation or maybe two that don't have anyone in the Hall of Fame

Seriously. At this rate in 15 years only women will be getting into the Hall. I am not kidding. You got Fed, Stan, Novak, Rafa all guys in there 30s. Andy of Course. But these guys are all from the same generation well Fed is technically even older. So who from the younger guys will make the Hall? Anyone? If the big 3 keep playing they will basically box the generation of players before them out.

Does Thiem count? Thiem will probably win a few Roland Garros titles.

Well at some point a few of the currently 16-23 year olds will win slams because big 3 can't win forever.

The 24-31year olds might never win a slam though, maybe thiem will.

No, the HOF will adapt and lower their standards, as have almost everything else in the world. From 2028 on, any player in the top 50 with one 500 win will be instantly be deemed HOF worthy while Fed, Rafa and Novak continue to divide the slams in their 40's. If anybody thinks Zverev, Thiem or Karen are going to dominate tennis like the big 3, God help you.

Obviously, The Big 3 plus Andy and Stan will get in.

I don't know if anybody else has earned it yet, including Delpo and Cilic. But inevitably, majors, 1000s and #1 rankings will start to accrue to non-Big 3 guys, right?

FAA is the probably the best prospect in a decade. Thiem could rack up a bunch of GS titles once all the old guys are literally unable to swing a racquet.

After Fed is gone, hello darkness my old friend.

Eventually someone will dominate like the Big 3, whether alone or in a small elite group, but I'm not so sure anyone currently on the Tour is going to do it when the Big 3 leave. I see parity for the next 5 years outside of the Big 3.

I'm still amazed at how long the Big 3 (Big 4 at first) generation has lasted unimpeded. It's insane. Their time at the top has spanned what would normally be considered the time period for three whole tennis generations.

Best prospect in a decade.

Gets roflstomped in Slam 1st round while already top 20 player.

None of the 90s and 2000s kids comes even close to the stardards set by Roddick and Hewitt. You can stop talking about domination and ****
