LOL!!!

The list is also missing matches. I think Thiem falls into next gen since he definitely is not lost gen since he started much later than them. If Kyrgios is next gen, then so is Thiem.

I agree that Thiem should be included. Maybe I’ll make the same pic of my own later.

 

[longtimelurker]

Well I thought he could pull it off with crowd behind him, cheering for Stefanos doublefaults.

The day he retires will be the day those type of crowds do too, hopefully they will go back to cheering on grasshopper fights e.t.c

 

[NoleFam]

Federer didn't lose to Zverev in this tournament. He lost to Thiem and Tsitsipas.

I've already corrected it.

 

[ForehandRF]

Well I thought he could pull it off with crowd behind him, cheering for Stefanos doublefaults.

Stefanos was just the better player and credit to him.I hope to see him winning slams in the near future.

 

[OhYes]

The day he retires will be the day those type of crowds do too, hopefully they will go back to cheering on grasshopper fights e.t.c

And tennis will finally be free. Ok we will have "Laver Cup" but stands will be finally packed with decent people.

That was nice.

I think fed played beyond pathetic in terms of clutch..
The first set could have been 6-2 fed if he cared to convert break points

 

[40L0VE]

I think most Fed fans knew this could happen. Federer is the worst of the Big3 against the new generation. Not sure what it is.

Tsitispas is 21, Federer is 38. Almost twice his age. I said yesterday I didn't fancy the old-timers chances against his SF opponent because players lose consistency when they age.

If the next gen really break through next and destroy the big 3 in all slams then so be it.

 

[Third Serve]

Not by a level of play produced at current event.

At any rate, I’m glad you agree that form > big name.

 

[NoleFam]

I agree that Thiem should be included. Maybe I’ll make the same pic of my own later.

So should Hurkacz and Humbert. I will make a list since I'm not doing anything today. Will post it when I'm done.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Not gonna lie, that is one of the things I'm most looking forward to when Federer retires, as much as I appreciate and respect what he's brought to the sport.

 

[smalahove]

Unfortunately that didn't help him here. He has really bad luck in many tournaments.

you got to get over that. Tsitsipas said he didn’t go all in.

the tide has turned. the young’uns move faster. No slams for the big 3 after 2020 ...

People use the age excuse way too much when it suits, both were there, one came through.

Yeah, same old problem with Fed, but Stefanos knew how to hold his nerves and finished the job.

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

It's not about nerves of stefanos.
But even if 50% of the venom with which fed played djokovic would be here, fed could've sent tsitsi packing 6-2 6-2

Tsitsipas handles pace, and moves so much faster. Fed’s got to convert more BPs going forward if he wants to lift the big trophies.

 

[OhYes]

Not gonna lie, that is one of the things I'm most looking forward to when Federer retires, as much as I appreciate and respect what he's brought to the sport.

Let's just hope we won't have any goats in future before they arrive at their goat destination.

 

[StrongRule]

To be honest, I have no idea how can you beat Djokovic and then lose to Tsitsipas.

 

[40L0VE]

Tsitsipas plays attacking tennis so he's old school in that respect unlike quite of a lot of his age group.

 

[OhYes]

To be honest, I have no idea how can you beat Djokovic and then lose to Tsitsipas.

It was a pinnacle of his career obviously

After that he just felt flat and uninterested.

Age with the fact that Djoker played poor too.

Well he needs something to make him feel better about what happened at Wimbledon. I don't know if he means that but it is a champions way of coping. Federer is a really really proud athlete.

 

[OhYes]

For so many years now, and has built himself quite a reputation of being proud and salty.

In the meantime, bump your thread so I can add my graphic and not have to create a new thread.

Ok, well then I will make one. There's about 23 players 26 and under, in the top 60. I will post the results in about an hour.

 

[NoleFam]

I think the old Fed was salty but he has matured with age in my opinion. I think he is still quite proud though.

Unfortunately Fed can't bring that level consistently.Yes, he was extra motivated against Novak, but this was one of those breakpoint days, you know.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

40-15 back on track

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

I suppose self-immolation can be funny.

 

[Fedbump]

40-15 back on track

In your dreams, hun.

 

[King No1e]

Lol nadal

0 WTF

1-5 against Fed since 2014

2-6

 

[King No1e]

Happy for Tsitsipas though. He played well, and has a good chance at winning the whole thing. He'd thoroughly deserve it.
Tsitsipas is everything we're looking for in the next gen: well-rounded game, good results at a young age, mental strength, and a capacity to routinely crush the Big 3.
