Let them do it consistently...
As @aman92 and some others said...
Last time when I checked tennis stats, so called young guns Coric and Tsitsipas were pummeled by 37.5 years old federer, back to back.
Rafa literally ate up that greek BS 6-2 6-4 6-0
Djoker bageled shapo after he luckily won a set
FAA hasn't played a big3 member on a big stage, so can't say anything about him...
But it looks like when these youngsters don't have enough legs to grind out big3, they p-iss in their pants....no plan B
Nadal was an anomaly with his 18 y/o results, Murray and Djokovic really made big impacts from 20-22, Delpo broke through at the USO at 20. Federer was a little later at 21 (almost 22). I would say anyone who passes 21 without having a really big result is not destined for the type of future as these guys, but Felix/Shapo/Tsits have a little time to show us if they've got it. You shouldn't really be looking for them to be big 3 level, as after the Laver/Rosewall gen it took until the Big 3 to have similar kinds of numbers for various reasons (e.g. Borg's burnout, etc.). If 2-4 of them can reach Agassi, McEnroe, Becker, Edberg level that's still pretty good.
Thiem is too old but might score 1-2 slams in his career at the French.
Zverev is passing the above window next month and has been a flop at slams, so I don't think he's the next ATG, but he may collect a few slams in his career as well.
It's gen useless that's been the problem.
