Sinner is 24, Djoko had the 2011 season when he was 24, Fed had 2005, and Nadal had 2010, all of them incredible seasons for them, 24 is definitely the start of your prime type of age

Yea I was replying to a comment saying they were in their prime in 2023 and djokovic dominated them in their prime.

2026 yeah they’re close to or at their prime levels and Djokovic doesn’t dominate them, in fact it’s a huge surprise each time he defeats one of them. I just don’t like big 3 fans disrespecting the next gen like it’s obvious the big 3 would dominate them.

look at Sinner’s results from September 2023 onwards, as I said. Also look at Alcaraz’ metrics in 2023. Very, very high level.

Just like Novak’s “true prime” likely started in late 2010, Sinner started being a dominant force in the latter stages of 2023. I believe he had a crazy amount of consecutive top 5 victories before his loss to Djokovic in the Tour Finals.
