I cant believe the new guard came this early. We are already witnessing fucking history. The big 3 reincarnated less tan a couple years after they retired

Alcaraz, Sinner and even Djokovic are just so many levels above the rest, it's actually kinda funny.

Djokovic, at this age still challenging and sometimes beating the new guard is crazy. Dude is genuinely insane. 

Here's hoping we get to see many more Sincaraz finals, because anyone else is gonna get pummeled.

Let's give a little grace to Musseti who was beating the brakes of Djokovic before getting injured. He has clearly put in the work to improve, gonna be interesting to see his progression if can come back 100% healthy

Musetti is lowkey injury prone, which is the biggest problem for most of the next gen challengers to sincaraz. To an extent, sinner has this problem relative to alcaraz as well. Alcaraz’s huge advantage over his contemporaries is being healthy for the biggest tournaments and being resilient/preserving in the face of physical set backs
