The Big 3 era is over.

[Zardoz7/12]

I always seen the last 20 years as a domination between Federer, Djokovic and Nadal (In no order).

I never understood the fanwars between the 3 groups of fans mainly because I wanted Murray to win those slams.

This most likely is the changing of the guard, a new era with Alcaraz leading the charge and to be honest this needed to happen, for Men's tennis to evolve it needs new blood at the top.

Lastly I know Djokovic isn't widely liked for many reasons compared to Nadal and Federer but I hope fans of tennis will in time respect his contribution to tennis, I used to despise him every time he beat Murray at the Australian Open and that was immature of me.

To me the best level of tennis I ever saw was 2007 AO Federer def Roddick. I'm still waiting to ever see that level on display from this young generation.

20 years have passed and they gave us tennis of the highest level, but Carlitos Alcaraz is a mixture of these three and promises to take this sport to another level.

23-22-20 is fine by me.

Nadal, as humble as always.

Djokovic is still dominant in the AO. Nadal one more run at RG. Not done yet.

Carlos better show the same energy when the other Spaniard shows up at RG next year.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Big 2 look bad, will win 3/4 slams in 2024

Asterisked slams don't count, so remove like 10 from Djokovic and 2-3 from Nadal. And AO 2018 for Federer.

Whatever, bro. You’re boring. Maybe give some credit to Carlos after you said he was a mug and stood no chance.

I congratulated him in the match thread. Not forgiving DO though.

Asterisked in what sense?

Weakest era of all time.

Nah Djoko is still the fav / co-fav in every slam he enters till the end of next year. And I'm being conservative.

Covid pretty much killed it prematurely but 2019 was the last gasp really.

20 years have passed and they gave us tennis of the highest level, but Carlitos Alcaraz is a mixture of these three and promises to take this sport to another level.

Still waiting for someone to explain how his style is suppose to impress me. It's not Becker, Pete, Roger, Agassi, Nadal or Wawrinka.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Well, it may not be over, but we finally have someone who can step up and take titles from them in Alcaraz. Let's see if some of the other youngsters can round into better players. Great to see the torch finally passing. Glad to see Alcaraz overcome the toilet break and "injury" of Djokovic in the final. He kept his focus. Also, glad to see that Djokovic did not play badly. He was just defeated today.

Reminds me of Federer taking out Agassi, actually.

Saw this on Gatto's feed today. Amazing how much swag these two had and how easy they were in each other's presence.

Look at the way they move around the court, totally comfortable in their own skin, but also clearly very comfortable being close to each other. Incredible.
