The definition of #NextGen?

[Jonas78]

Change of Guard could not happen because of Big 3.

Federer dipped after 2017.
Nadal dipped after 2019.
Novak is yet to take a dip, though his dip will also come in 1-2 years.

All blame on people born from 1988 till 1996 but then Thiem-DImitrov could not step up as their age difference was too close to Djokodal, Federer also was a beast in his own way till his late 30s.

These 3 guys are the greatest of all time for a reason.

Well when Cilic/Delpo could win a slam, and Stan/Murray could win 3 each in the Big3 era, i find it strange that players born between 89 and 95 couldnt win a single one (Thiem won it when Big3 were injured/disqualified)

Potro is 88
Cilic is 88
Stan is 85

All these guys grew us in the 90s and 00s with Big 3, the guys born in 90s grew up in the 00s and in 10s entirely in the baseline era.

Maybe thats why everyone younger than Djokovic is a bads grass courter, except Raonic and Kyrgios who are servebots ..... See how bad everyone is on grass below Novak because courts slowed down .... Federer grew us in 90s and so he has some advantage as he is better on fast courts naturally .... Sir Andy Murray is from UK so naturally he is good on grass ..... Thiem and Dimitrov are trash as they are in the baseline with single handed backhands .... Zverev-Stefanos-Meddy are basically from the age groups who from their childhood itself had smartphones+social media in their hands ...upbringing matters.... this is evolution.,

What about Shapo, Hurkacz, and FAA? None are bad grass court players.

No Idea why.

I said it an unexplainable phenomenon.

When Nature quickly sent 2 ATGs 5 years below Fed to compensate for no ATG in Fed's age group (Nd no one before him for 10 years) then it creates a triangle that held Tennis together for the next 15 years not allowing anyone to become ATGs.

No idea why ...;..Only explanation is Big 3 played each other and due to their contrasting styles they made each other better on their weak surfaces too .... it is possible

I think there is an explanation. Did Medvedev or Zverev grow up playing on clay (or grass)?

Pretty sure ATP defines it as players 21 and under inside the top 200. I like that definition and stick to it. That option isn't even in this thread poll as they mark it as cutting off at 21, not including it.

Sorry, fixed it.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Grigor Dimitrov and Kyrgios are the only promising Next Gen teenagers, 10 Slams at least for those two young prospects
