So who is going to be the next dominant player? Seriously. Someone we haven't heard of yet?

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Sinner can't seem to beat Medvedev (LOL Wow). Consistency to the finish line continues to be an issue here. And every joint from Tail to dorsal fin seems to be breaking down on Shark Mouth Carlos this year every other tournament. Rune has sucked since his big win over Djoker in Paris.

Arthur Fils will rise through the ashes!

 

[TheNachoMan]

Lenny Federer and Stefan Djokovic

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Sergi Bruguera is a safe bet.

 

[Jonesy]

If Nadal managed to survive a long career so can Carlos.

I dont know.. Nadal wasn't breaking down every other tournament at 19 either. He was playing the entire season

No way. Are you telling me Carlos is more unlucky than the guy who was diagnosed with an incurable foot condition in 2005?

Nadal managed it all the way to last year when he had to get the shots to numb it I believe. The way Carlos is going, he won't make it to 23 without 25 surgeries

Nadal had to skip the WTF in 05 i think

That would be Del Potro 2.0. I feel Carlos will achieve much more than Delpo.

 

[AgassiSuperSlam11]

Other than Alcaraz and Rune there are several junior players as Luca Van Assche and Martin Landaluce that have potential down the road (too early to say dominant). The next two years still likely to be dominated by Djokovic and Alcaraz with Medvedev picking up a few. Nadal and Zverev have many question marks due to injury to assume they can win big titles again let alone dominate.

He already has…. He has more masters 1000 than Delpo and reached the number 1 ranking. Also higher career win %

 

[socallefty]

I think a player called Neo Georgeson is going to dominate for the next couple of years.

PS: That is his Anglicized name.

How do you get Djokovic out of that?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Alcaraz already is. His injuries are non issue. He is 19 and will take care of his body. Don't let this guy become another injury excuser. Hold him accountable. Loss is not same as injury.

 

[AntonZweck]

Looking forward to Federer and Djokovic Gen 2!

Arthur Fils will rise through the ashes!

Another vote for Fils - will rise quickly.

 

[accidental]

That 11 year old kid that hits forehands on both sides

 

[AgassiSuperSlam11]

Now that Arthur Fils has won "Newcomer of the Year" I wonder if he now gets jinxed. Only 1 out of the last 19 players to win that award has won a slam (Alcaraz). I hope this trend doesn't continue.

I still haven’t seen much of Fils play unfortunately. What are the hallmarks of his game?

 

[BumElbow]

Why do you want 1 player to dominate the sport? I prefer when competition is more equal and champions vary from surface to surface and tournament to tournament. Competition is good for the game!

 

[3loudboys]

Big off the ground on both wings, very physical … he is an incredible athlete. And he has skilful flair which gives him a little extra IMO … crowds will like it to.

 

[Dwell]

Very solid fundamentals. None of that musetti/faa forehand ruud/rublev backhand nonsense.
Athletically gifted, he smoked every other next gen in the video below. I think he can still improve his serve(toss is too high imo) and movement.
Now the real issue with french players is not technical skill but clutchness. Is he a choker? If he is,then the french media will end his career. They're ruthless.

 

[3loudboys]

This highlight reel is a good watch … enjoy. Agree with @Dwell on serve & toss … room for improvement there.
