Djokovic, Nadal and Federer are to long on the top and people wants to see new players on the top.
They are still young and need more experience and stability but they will come on the top eventually, in a few years.
I do hope that Medvedev will continue his strong showings, specially on a bigger stage. We have seen lots of potential players to really challenge the "Big 3", but all of them came short when they are in a Grand Slam that's why the Djokovic, Nadal and Federer continues to dominate the tennis world even at their age. If Medvedev goes on to win the US Open, then I would say yes, so it will be very interesting to see how he will do in this year US Open. Do I really wanted to see new players coming up? Definitely, but they need to prove it by winning the big tournaments in tennis.
I totally agree as we have been talking about this on here for over a year now. Every time we think that one of the up and coming young talent is going to win a Grand Slam they don't because of the pressure from the top 3. I also think a lot of it is to do with being nervous playing Nadal, Djokovic and Federer in big matches like Grand Slam finals and that is why we always see the young talent lose as that is when the top 3 bring their A game where as the lead up tournaments I don't think they worry about so that is why we always see the up and coming guys beat the top 3. Lets hope we start to see a change in the US Open, we are yet to see Nadal in action so he will be fresh and ready to go for the US Open.
Exactly, we have sounded like a broken record here for years. Those young players need to really step up the plate against the big 3 otherwise they will continue to dominate this game and show their experience. Medvedev is already on the stage wherein he had matured already and have the capability to face the top 3 in the biggest show, the US Open. I think the qualifiers has started, and the top seeds are:
1. Djokovic
2. Nadal
3. Federer
4. Thiem
5. Medvedev
Yeah we have my friend, I was looking back in this thread and I can't believe how fast time goes by as it has been a couple of years now since we started talking about the young talent. At the time it was players like Kyrgios, Thiem and Zverev who should all be challenging for Grand Slams and even winning but we are yet to see this. Medvedev has stepped up recently and looks to be the best chance for the up and coming guys as even though Thiem is ranked 4th seed I don't think he is all that good on hard courts just yet and is more suited to clay so I don't like he's chances in the US Open.
True. Reading some interview on Roger Federer:
https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/roger-federer-feeling-better-ever-172004717.html
“We were saying on the practice court two days ago that this is probably the best I’ve felt in years coming into the US Open again, which is encouraging.
It looks like his very positive on his chance on the upcoming US Open. And that what's separate elite tennis players from the good ones. Elite players are very optimistic with there chances of winning another grandslam as opposed to many talented players we have right now, they don't have the mentality of champions like the big 3 and that is the main reason why they falter in this Grand Slams.
