Are those ages on average younger than the slams in the past couple of years? Or is it still an older field in comparison? (Both ATP/WTA)

I think one of the things that's often overlooked is the importance of the leading player. Federer went strong at 30 and that served as the motivation for the players of his age and slightly younger guys. Federer set the bar high and others are following. I think when Federer eventually retires, everybody else will believe they can have success until the age Federer retires and will keep on pushing their body to the limit. In that process, more older players will have success. I would call the phenomenon that this 30+ generation still going strong the "Federer Effect". Just wait and see when Federer retires. I think players will start to retire more and more earlier age as the Fed Effect wears out.

Wow, 30-34 is the new prime :eek:
 
Apparently, live expectancy in some countries is rising by about two years every decade. It should hardly be surprising that the delayed aging of our society as a whole extends also to sport. It's not as though people of 70 are as unhealthy as they were when three score years and ten was the allotted lifespan but they just go on living. Rather, today's 70-year-olds seem like yesteryear's 60-year-olds (or even younger).

Changes in life expectancy at birth are also driven by a decrease in infant mortality rates, however we may use other measures of longevity like life expectancy at the age of five, to study dynamics of longevity, without the effect of infant mortality rates.

I'm talking about rising life expectancy in western Europe, where the infant mortality rate has been very low for many decades. In such countries, far more countries are living to 80+, 90+, etc than before. No doubt, infant mortality is the crucial factor globally.

As you probably know, this is not especially the case in the US, where higher than expected infant mortality is a result of sadistic greed (and masochistic "opinions") among important factions (example: Alabama has a higher infant mortality rate than Lebanon). But getting back to the thread, it does seem with the increasing health and dominance of the late twenty- and thirty- somethings, the time is gone forever of young prodigy champions like Becker and Borg.

Maybe so but on the plus side in Alabama you can own unlimited guns.

I do know that, which is why I specifically said western Europe! I don't know for sure, but I imagine infant mortality is also very low in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.

You make is sound like this was a thing of the "distant past".

Nadal was nearly as much of a prodigy as the two you mentioned. The difference is that he is still playing.

Didn't @Meles say that clay was "a young man's game"?
Yes and all of the young guns except Zverev over achieved at RG:
1. Khachanov took down Berdych and Isner
2. Chung took out Querrey and nearly Nishikori (who is not old per se)
3. Even long injured Kokkinakis took a set of Kei
4. Tiafoe (US player who is not a clay courter) took Fognini 5 sets
5. Edmund made to R32 and 5 sets with a resurgent Anderson
6. Rublev took Schwartzman surprisingly to 5 sets in round 1
7. Schwartzman made R32 and 5 sets with Djokovic
8. Pouille went to the excellent ARV (Ramos) and went down in 5 sets
9. Kyrgios knocked off oldy Kohlschreiber in straight sets and had great start with Anderson only for his ongoing hip injury to knock him out.
10. Thiem has mauled everyone in site.
11. Zverev can at least say he went 5 with goating Dasco who made a deep run until Fiasco took over against Nishikori after winning first set 6-0.
12. Escobedo and Donaldson (US players) gone first round
13. Johnson narrowly got by Coric in 2nd round (Borna livid)

Did you see Rome?:rolleyes:

Let's check the geriatric scorecard.
1. Almagro retired 2nd round with possible career ending knee injury (beat Geriatric Baghs first round)
2. Lorenzi, Isner, and Berdych all in the Khachanov section
3. Ferrer barely beat Donald Young and then downed by fellow declined geriatric Feliciano:confused:
4. Simon gone to Bashavilli
5. Tsonga owned by Olivo

Verdasco was the one geriatric to over achieve. NextGen on the whole did very well even though best of 5 not easy for them. You have one match to crow about Verdasco over Zverev; don't see much else.o_O Thiem will be in a real crap shoot tomorrow with Djokovic tomorrow with 20 mph winds and the coolest/slowest conditions of the week.:confused:

As far as the young guns' performances go, I can only give you #10(which is really what he should be doing anyway with his draw and leader of his age group) and #1 since Khachanov took out some good names and had a good run.

I'm sorry but there's no way I can give any credit to your other #s as proof of clay being for the young guys. Taking sets off of 2nd-4th tier oldies are just moral victories if you can't actually put the opponent away. For the ones that did, they certainly didn't touch the top guys(unless Thiem wins against Djokovic) Those are very low expectations especially if those are considered overachieving. Tough luck for Pouille and Zverev, but they should should be expected to beat them as leaders of their gen.

As it stands in this tourney, Thiem is the only one still in it with a chance to overtake a top tier oldie. The other leaders of the young guns(like Pouille, Kyrgios, and Zverev) and the rest of the pack still couldn't crack the 2nd-4th tier oldies. If clay really was a young man's game, then you wouldn't see only 2 quarterfinalists aged 25 or younger, while 1 of those is about to be 26 next month.

Of this group:
21: Hyeon Chung, Karen Khachanov
22: Kyle Edmund
23: Jiri Vesely, Dominic Thiem, Lucas Pouille
24: Diego Schwartzman
25: Pablo Carreno Busta, Nikoloz Basilashvili

How many beat their seeding? All have met or beat their seeding or lack there of seeding to make round of 32. Pouille is the exception who lost to ARV who was a few seeds higher and clay specialist of sorts. That is 8 players in the round of 32. Three were seeded to do such. Five over performed. Busta has now overperformed his seeding. You lose.;) Clay is clearly a young man's game. Just be happy Dasco won one for the oldies. Heck slams are the last bastion of the oldest players so this clay season has been about like this:
tumblrmgj3zxtzd51r4mimpo1400.gif

This is the beginning of a mass extinction event on clay.
 
When was the last time a 20 year old made the semis of a major on the men's side? Del Potro?

Yes, Del Potro at the 2009 US Open. The last 21-year-old to make it that far was Cilic at the 2010 Australian Open. Since then, there have been two 22-year-olds: Janowicz at 2013 Wimbledon and Thiem at 2016 Roland Garros.
 
Pouille and Khachanov are the last two men left in the top half who are younger than 26, and Pouille is two sets down against Janowicz in round 2.

You can probably go ahead and tentatively pencil in Federer and Djokovic, because let's be honest, the chances of them losing today are pretty slim.
 
So here is Wimbledon's round of 3 by age for the top half:

21: Khachanov
26: Janowicz
27: Nishikori, Johnson, Bedene
28: Cilic, Paire
29: Bautista Agut, Querrey, Bemelmans
30: Murray, Fognini
31: Nadal, Anderson
32: Tsonga
34: Muller

N.B. Wimbledon website rounds up Bedene to 28 and Querrey to 30, but I won't do so.

And the bottom half:

20: A. Zverev, Donaldson
21: Ofner
23: Thiem
26: Dimitrov, Raonic
28: Gulbis
29: M. Zverev, Ramos-Vinolas, Mannarino
30: Djokovic, Monfils
31: Berdych
32: Sela
35: Ferrer, Federer

Overall
Teenagers: -
20-24: 5 [A. Zverev, Donaldson, Ofner, Khachanov, Thiem]
25-29: 15 [Janowicz, Nishikori, Johnson, Bedene, Cilic, Paire, Bautista Agut, Querrey, Bemelmans, Dimitrov, Raonic, Gulbis, M. Zverev, Mannarino, Ramos Vinolas]
30-34: 10 [Djokovic, Monfils, Berdych, Sela, Murray, Fognini, Nadal, Anderson, Tsonga, Muller]
35+: 2 [Ferrer, Federer]

As you probably know, this is not especially the case in the US, where higher than expected infant mortality is a result of sadistic greed (and masochistic "opinions") among important factions (example: Alabama has a higher infant mortality rate than Lebanon). But getting back to the thread, it does seem with the increasing health and dominance of the late twenty- and thirty- somethings, the time is gone forever of young prodigy champions like Becker and Borg.
Sadly the high infant mortality here is race dependent as blacks have a rate over 15% while the rate for whites is just over 5% which is under the US national average. The efforts to address this problem have been in the local news a lot recently.
 
Okay, so in the end there will be five men under 25 in the last 32:

1. Khachanov (21)
2. Thiem (23)
3. Zverev (20)
4. Donaldson (20)
5. Either Sock (24) or Ofner (21)

I listed them by the order in which they reached that stage. No 25-year-olds either, now that Harrison is out, so these are the last men younger than 26.

Four of them are playing each other, as round 3 will see Thiem play Donaldson and Zverev play either Sock or Ofner, so we are guaranteed two youngish players in round 4, but will have no more than three at the most. As Khachanov plays Nadal, realistically it's going to be two.
 
Roland Garros v Wimbledon

Teenagers: 0-0
20-24: 7-5
25-29: 11-15
30-34: 13-10
35+: 1-2

By contrast with Roland Garros, Wimbledon is this year slightly favoring men in their late 20s compared to either men in their early 20s or men in their early 30s. Almost half the draw is in the 26-29 range, whereas at Roland Garros, a plurality had already turned 30.
 
With Khachanov out, there's no man in the top half under 26. In fact, with Janowicz, Bedene, Nishikori, and Johnson also out, there is no man left in the top half who is younger than 28! So, even though we're not yet at the last 16 stage, we're already guaranteed one finalist who is 28 or more.

The bottom half has a bunch of younger players, of course.

Thiem and Zverev are likely to be the only ones 25 and under after tomorrow. Unless Zverev goes on the run of his life or Cilic continues to serve well, then it looks like a 4th straight 30+ final if you want to count USO last year. The great transition era continues.

How is it a transition era? It's the continuation era! But, yeah, looks most likely to be two more 30-somethings in the final. Cilic or Zverev could do it. Cilic is the youngest men's singles Slam champion. Nobody born since the start of 1989 has won one, and nobody born since the start of 1991 has made a final. Zverev would end that streak. I think he has more chance of doing so at the US Open than at Wimbledon. Still, tomorrow he will likely make the last 16 of a Slam for the first time.

I was sarcastic. The great prophet Meles told everyone around the early part of the year that this year would be the great transition era.
 
Round of 16 by age:

20: A. Zverev
23: Thiem
26: Dimitrov, Raonic
28: Cilic, Paire
29: Bautista Agut, Querrey, Mannarino
30: Murray, Djokovic
31: Nadal, Anderson, Berdych
34: Muller
35: Federer

<20: 0
20-24: 2
25-29: 7
30-34: 6
>35: 1

Let me parse this a different way:

To date, the youngest Slam champions are born in September 1988. Del Potro and Cilic were both born then. Del Potro is five days older, but let's call it a tie.
There are two Slam finalists younger than them. Nishikori was born on 29 December 1989, and Raonic on 27 December 1990.
So, we're still waiting for a Slam champion born in 1989 or later, and for a Slam finalist born in 1991 or later.
The four men remaining who are born in the 1990s are:
- Raonic
- Dimitrov (16 May 1991)
- Thiem (3 September 1993)
- Zverev (20 April 1997)

It'd be interesting if the first man born in the 1990s to win a Slam was born in the late 1990s. It's looking quite possible at this point.
 
If, as looks likely, Federer and Zverev both win the matches they're currently playing, then Zverev will be the youngest of the quarter-finals by a mere eight and a half years.
 
@Aussie Darcy already posted this elsewhere, but for the sake of updating the thread, the quarter-finalists are:

26: 1 (Raonic)
28: 1 (Cilic)
29: 1 (Querrey)
30: 1 (Murray)
31: 1 (Berdych)
34: 1 (Muller)
35: 1 (Federer)
29/30: 1 (Mannarino/Djokovic)

Raonic the last man left in born in the 1990s. Looks like we'll be waiting a while longer for the first Slam champion born after 1988.
 
Semi-finalists:

28: Cilic
29: Querrey
31: Berdych
35: Federer

So:
a. Still no Slam winner born after 1988.
b. The 30-something Slam will be dependent on the final, as there will be a 20-something in the final. If Federer or Berdych wins, then all of the last four Slams will have been won by someone aged 31 or more. (Prior to US Open 2015, the previous Slam won by someone of that age was Australian Open 2003, before that US Open 2002, and before that US Open 1983). That'd also put us 3/4ths of the way to a 30-something calendar Slam.
c. Average age of the semi-finalists = 30.75. But it's actually over 31, as all four of them have birthdays in the next three months. Federer turns 36 in August, Cilic turns 29 in September, Berdych turns 32 in September, and Querrey turns 30 in October.

Women's:

37: Williams
28: Rybarikova
26: Konta
23: Muguruza
