Okay, so apparantly all the nextgen players have one or two major flaws in their games, apparantly the ability to dictate play is mainly because of it.
For example, zverev's forehand and second serve, Medvedev's ballstriking, Tsitsipas's return, shapovalov's return & shot tolerance, Berretini's movement and backhand etc etc.
Almost all of them pretty much suck at net skills and half volley etc, so I'll leave that.
The question here is, if we take one element from a nextgen player and impart it to another NextGen player, does it make that specific player more potent to defeat the declined post-prime versions of big3 in best of 5, consistently? For example, 2017-19 roger or 2017-20 nadal or 2018-21 djoko.
I have a few options here and there. Let's check them out.
1) Tsitsipas with Zverev's return
2) Shapovalov with Tsitsipas's shot tolerance
3) Zverev with Tsitsipas's forehand
4) Medvedev with Zverev's power
5) Zverev with Medvedev's 2nd serve
6) Berretini with Medvedev's Backhand
7) Berretini with Zverev's movement
8 ) Shapovalov with Zverev's return
You can suggest your combo options as well
There are just 2 conditions.
A) No involvement of mental or clutch elements
B) you can not take more than one component of any nextgen player to replace in other nextgen player
Also, should I create a poll here? Do let me know.
