The Vaunted Next Gen

[messiahrobins]

Of Medvedev Zverev and Tsitsipas have been exposed by Sinner and Alcaraz in particular as hugely overrated, and the fact the 3 spent so much time near the top of the rankings reflects really badly on the state of the mens tour for almost a decade now.
The likes of Verdasco ferrer Berdych Tsonga Monfils Nabandian Cilic Nishikori Dimitrov must wish they had been born a few years later.
The issue is from this point forward the ATP will have trouble marketing players after their embarrassing hyping of the Next Gen back in the day.

Hard to lump Medvedev in with them considering he has a slam and not only was it a slam but he destroyed Djokovic in straight sets to stop him winning the CYGS.

That was nothing short of a massive deal. A mammoth accomplishment.

The other two? Yeah, failures.

Medvedev literally though is only competitive on hard court

I mean a slam is a slam right. I’d take that over Tsitsipas’ career.

Sinner and Alcaraz have the luxury of not facing much stronger versions of Nadal and Djokovic.

Sinner and Alcaraz have the luxury of not facing much stronger versions of Nadal and Djokovic.

In fairness though thats the natural way of things as they are so far away age wise. Medvedev Zverev and Tsitsipas have no excuses as they really should have ended Nadal and Djokovic's prolific slam winning days, like Rafa and Novak did with Federer. Sinner and Alcaraz are sort of ending Medvedev Zverev Tsitispas if you get my point.

Medvedev is the best of his generation no question. Just thought Sinner last night really showed up the Medvedev weaknesses.
