The greatest of this era will be GOAT until we die?

Pretty pessimistic to give yourself until 78 when considering the advancement of modern medicine.

He drinks. A lot

I'm 28, I think I have around 50 more years to live.

Will I, or any of us, ever experience someone greater than Djokovic/Federer/Nadal?

Next gen struggle to make a slam final. Winning slams is not as easy as Big3 made it look like.

There's a good possibility that whoever will be the greatest at the end of this era may be the greatest we will ever experience in our lives.

Also a chance that any good/great player that comes after the big 3 dominates and cleans up events like no other in the talent-void that their absence leaves.

2011-16 peak will be hard to surpass.

The game evolves

The game evolves

This is a common misconception around what "evolution" means and how it is used in common parlance. Evolution doesn't mean progress. It just means change. So yes, the game will change as times, tech, nutrition, and conditions change. Doesn't mean it will get better.

 

[Cortana]

Imagine someone close to Djokovics level of play, let's say 80-90%. Now imagine that there is nothing like a Big3 for 15 years. Easily wins 30 slams.

What's worse is that we will have to put up with op for another 50 years.

50 more years of Lew on TT really made me think

49 more years to go.

50 years is 200 slams, and the careers are getting longer and longer, I don't see why is this a good possibility for the records to stay unbroken.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

50 more years of Lew on TT really made me think

There might be a new bandwagon in that time, though. Just picture Lew picking stats which denigrate Djoker and prop up some new-fangled sh;tbiscuit. Roflcopters at dawn.

I think that there's a good possibility the person to beat all the records has already been born. Might even be playing Fortnite as we speak.
