Fed probably laughs at this. What? Time for a SF at the WTF and a career of 3 slams if lucky? Yeah, it is your time...That ship sailed long ago. Time is what will retire the Big 3.

I discount Zverev win over Nadal simply because until that FH and 2nd serve is sorted out he isnt beating any top 10 player over 5 sets sadly. Nice guy, much work ahead in close season.
LmaoIt reminds me of those Sarah Mclachlan animal abuse commercials
So 3 slams now is pathetic?Fed probably laughs at this. What? Time for a SF at the WTF and a career of 3 slams if lucky? Yeah, it is your time...
He'll make his move...When the Big3 retire Nick will make his move.
Did I say pathetic? When you say "this is my F'n time now," you better back it up or just looks silly. It is not his time now, nor would a 3 slam career mean it was his time.So 3 slams now is pathetic?
Kuerten is a pathetic player? Stan also? Sir Mandy?
If Zverev wins 3 slams, then absolutely he has the right to call it his time.Did I say pathetic? When you say "this is my F'n time now," you better back it up or just looks silly. It is not his time now, nor would a 3 slam career mean it was his time.
Would you say Wawa had "his time?" I would say he had a few moments in a long career. It is not about 3 slams being "great" or not, but his time?
Slight edit...NextGen 2017, its first iteration, eliminated anyone born before 1996, not 1995. Medvedev, Chung, Berrettini, Khachanov and Coric are the oldest of NextGen. Youngest of LostGen extrapolated to non-NextGen players inside the top 50 are Pouille, Kyrgios and Djere.He is LostGen.
LostGen is 1989-1994, NextGen is 1995-2000.
2001 onwards is SinnerGen.
Well if he wins 3 slams (still don't agree that is "his time"), he better start now, as he said it was his time... now.If Zverev wins 3 slams, then absolutely he has the right to call it his time.
3 slams is a great career, even during the Inflation era.
I don't like Sinner because he has the demenour of a yuppie accountant, i.e. boring and arrogant, but I am sure he will dominate in some future era...Slight edit...NextGen 2017, its first iteration, eliminated anyone born before 1996, not 1995.

Sadly, unless one or more SinnerGen members are late blossomers, which could happen (watch Alcaraz Garfia on clay), Sinner is head and shoulders above that next generation. I should amend that statement to say I won’t be unhappy at all if that is the case because I am a full-fledged Sinner and believe he is the next double-digit Slam champion.
2nd set of Rome 2019 final shows the level Zverev is capable of. He's got the talent but Slams are where he's lacking. He needs a great coach.I discount Zverev win over Nadal simply because until that FH and 2nd serve is sorted out he isnt beating any top 10 player over 5 sets sadly. Nice guy, much work ahead in close season.
I have seen very little arrogant behavior from him and I feel sorry for you if you find his game “boring.”I don't like Sinner because he has the demenour of a yuppie accountant, i.e. boring and arrogant, but I am sure he will dominate in some future era...
Not his game, his personality is boring.I have seen very little arrogant behavior from him and I feel sorry for you if you find his game “boring.”
Or an imaginary foible a potential detractor fabricates to build a false flaw. The kid just mentioned he’ll take just a few days off at home with his family and friends, who treat him with little or no difference from his pre-successful 2019.Not his game, his personality is boring.
The arrogance is something that one detects or fails to do...
Zverev: 'I think next year will bring a new Grand Slam champion. We'll see who that will be'
Tsitsipas: 'I'm really close on being crowned Grand Slam champion'
Thiem: 'I'm pretty sure that we're going to see a new a young Grand Slam champion next year'
...
I would love to see Fedalovic slam the door on them again lol
What has the bolded part got to do with anything? I didn't even know this.Or an imaginary foible a potential detractor fabricates to build a false flaw.

I can detect a hater in the making.
Some of you gonna eat your words 2020 or 2021
Didn't he say that 3 years ago?Zverev: 'I think next year will bring a new Grand Slam champion. We'll see who that will be'
@PurplemonsterTsitsipas said that ??
The bolded part has to do with the fact that an 18-year-old already realizes there are few days off when in pursuit of some lofty goals. No time for arrogance.What has the bolded part got to do with anything? I didn't even know this.
I detect a non-sequiuterer in the making.
Besides, a hater of haters is also a hater...
Talk about being delusional... Tin Henman must be doing heavy drugs to say this today about Stefanos:
"It has been an unbelievable year (for Tsitsipas), a breakthrough year; he came to this event to give it one last push and he will be mentally and physically exhausted because he's put so much into it."
How about winning a major? An "unbelievable year" is Chang and Wilander winning the FO at age 17, Boris winning Wimbledon at 17, Pete/Rafa winning slams at 19...
As I said before, arrogance can often be detected, just as words can be read between the lines.The bolded part has to do with the fact that an 18-year-old already realizes there are few days off when in pursuit of some lofty goals. No time for arrogance.
I can hate as much as I like anyone that makes up pure bullsheet like you are already spreading. I dare you to find one comment made by the teen that any rational person would perceive as being arrogant.
Tsitsipas is 21 and has beaten all 3 of them this year.Or 2022 or 2023 or 2024. NextGen has to win eventually, no?
I’ve witnessed your hatred and arrogance on other subjects...spots on a leopard.As I said before, arrogance can often be detected, just as words can be read between the lines.
And I still don't understand what your example has to do with arrogance or the lack of it.
Of course, it is hardest for arrogance to recognize other arrogance, because it lacks the ability to recognize it within themselves...
I am a joy to my foes too...I’ve witnessed your hatred and arrogance on other subjects...spots on a leopard.
What a joy you must be to acquaintances.
He also lost in the 1st Round of 2 slams.Tsitsipas is 21 and has beaten all 3 of them this year.
I want teenage Sinner to do it if anyone.
I do enjoy being above gutter tripe but it’s no challenge to be sure about your shallow agenda.I am a joy to my foes too...
You're enjoying this, otherwise you wouldn't be replying every time, right...?
And don't mistake your own confusion with my imagined hatred... The two are wholly unrelated, and one of them doesn't even exist...
BS like this from Zverev is singlehandedly responsible for jinxing his entire generation into winning BO3 titles at best these last few yearsThat ship sailed long ago. Big 3 retirements at this stage should all be attributed to time not due to anything NextGen does.
Zverev: 'I think next year will bring a new Grand Slam champion. We'll see who that will be'
Tsitsipas: 'I'm really close on being crowned Grand Slam champion'
Thiem: 'I'm pretty sure that we're going to see a new a young Grand Slam champion next year'
...
I would love to see Fedalovic slam the door on them again lol
At least Zverev and Thiem didn’t refer to themsleves.
I would love to see nextgen retire the big 3
Why would a player not refer to themselves in this instance? There's no benefit conferred to Tsitsipas if (say) Medvedev wins a slam. He has no interest in a Nextgen player other than himself winning a slam title. If it's not him, it might as well be Nadal and Djokovic once again splitting the titles.
That being said, and as much as I like his style of play, I think Tsitsipas is getting bit ahead of himself, and at times sounds like his head is getting inflated.
Which contrasts with Thiem, who is always humble to a fault.
