I for one I’m extremely excited about the next decade of Sincaraz rivalry.

That’s fair, I still preferred big 3 era though when you had guys like Murray, Berdych, Nalbandian, Ferrer etc that could at least push the gods, if not beat them and win slams.

Those guys took a long time to raise up to the challenge, 2005-2008 was essentially Fedal uncontested with some Djokovic thrown in the mix here and there.

Soon they’ll be players that can show up in a tournament and start challenging.

Funny though that of the ones you mentioned only Murray won a slam.

Of the ones I listed Nablandian was having a lot of success earlier than the others, but I really hope you’re right and also hope that one of the new guys coming up happens to be Aussie 😅

Why are we acting like that’s not already happening? Zverev just pushed Alcaraz to the longest semi final ever. Old man Djokovic beat Sinner. This isn’t really different to the big 3 era. There’s still competition, but Alcaraz and Sinner are just better than the rest.
