[Deleted member 688153]

all this talk of a big three, but bigger than what? it kind of implies the existence of a small, or at least average-sized three

Leo, Lenny and Stefan

Current Small-3 are Thiem, Medvedev, Zverev.

No it doesn't. The answer to "bigger than what?" is "everybody else".

Ferrer, Berdych, and Tsonga

 

[PETEhammer]

Big 3 are obviously Rod, Pete, and Novak
Tiny trio are Vines, Emerson, and Fed

 

[mike danny]

Previous Small-3 were Murray, Wawrinka, Cilic.
Current Small-3 are Thiem, Medvedev, Zverev.

Replace Cilic with Delpo.

 

[Rosstour]

Right now it is Zverev, Medvedev, and Tsitsipas.

Big expectations but no Slams, unlike Thiem, who has to be in his own separate group.

 

[chic]

There's some real Söderling erasure on this thread

 

[duaneeo]

Replace Cilic with Delpo.

I named Cilic because he made the final of 3 different slams, and won his slam more recently.

Sure, but I feel like over the years Delpo has been a bigger threat to the Big 3 than Cilic.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Ferrer, Berdych, and Tsonga

i was literally gonna make a meme poll option of those guys. by popular demand i guess i will now

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Previous Small-3 were Murray, Wawrinka, Cilic.
Current Small-3 are Thiem, Medvedev, Zverev.

I like where you're going with this, brother.

There's a sh*t-ton of re-branding that has to happen now. Well done, boys.

It's all rather reminiscent of my vision for a more inclusive branding initiative for the Tour. The proposal must have failed to reach the right hands.

If we're talking exclusively about the last decade, then Murray, Wawrinka and Delpo get my vote, gentleman.
