The career inflation era is already a well known concept. But when the two last superstars eventually retire, Djokovic and Nadal, will we enter the non-ATG era?
Are we already seeing it in the WTA? Unseeded players reaching slam finals, and no active ATG-superstar after Serena retired? Of course Iga might end one, but she isnt an ATG yet.
Earlier we have always had the dynamics of older ATGs and new players challenging them.
Its 16 years between Djokovic and the next possible ATG, Alcaraz. Im pretty sure 16 years between two ATGs is unprecedented (by far) in male tennis, and we dont even know if Alcaraz is an ATG yet.
What say you?
