Ruud on the 'next gen': "They didn't make it".

For a long time, most specialists were in the habit of referring to the young players born in the 90s as members of the "next gen". A generation of players destined to take over from the "big three".

Yet this generation currently boasts just two Grand Slam titles in 21 attempts (Medvedev and Thiem).

Questioned on the subject, Ruud explained: "Obviously, we can't wait for things to be served up to us, but the big three (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer) have been extremely good.

We've played in 21 finals and only won two, so we only have ourselves to blame.

There was a lot of talk about Zverev, Tsitsipas and Medvedev when they arrived, we thought they were going to make a change and topple Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, but they didn't."

More victims... I mean Bodies than those 3 😁

The original next gen meant to replace the big 3 we're players like Nishikori, Cilic, Dimitov, Raonic, etc. The big 3 and 4(when murray was about) saw off 2-3 new generations of players.

Medvedev: "He's probably the toughest opponent I've faced in my career".

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
