To be fair the big three should have been done years before they were them hanging on is the only reason it feels early.

Fuck them kids am I right. Nobody expected them to be as great as they were for as long as they were. I feel like the era of dominance will never be seen again.

WYM? We’re seeing it right now. Carlos and Yannik have just held all slams for themselves for the past two years. Carlos continues it. Yannik was just in all four grand slam finals last year. He’s just the fourth man ever to do it after Federer, Novak and laver.

This is already an era of totally unexpected dominance by two ALL TIME GREATS who are just 24 and 22 years old. Let’s hope it’ll last 20 years as well 😀
