Well, he always had the talent but I believe he struggled with injuries when next gen was promoted. And he is born in 1996 so he's definitely NextGen player, luckily not as hyped as Zverev

What's the definition of NextGen? I thought that was the group of Zverev, Tsitsipas, Chung etc

No, you're right. I'm asin overexited by the Berrettini's victory Btw, i bet my money on Sinner... Probabily he will finish the season in the top100

I hope so, a Süd-Tirol tennis player at the top level

U21 players are usually considered as NextGen. It first started in early 2000s when Hewitt, Federer, Nalbandian, Fererro, Roddick, Safin were young players and were making their way to the top of the game. It is mainly marketing thing. Since all of them became GS champions as soon as they started the hype (unfortunately only Nalbandian didn't win a slam, lost Wimbledon final to Hewitt in 2002) people hope it would happen with NextGen 2.0. Looks like they are just WindowsVista while old guard are wonderful, long living Windows XP  

But I think Tsitsipas among the mentioned ones would win Slam first. Felix Auger also if he stays healthy. And Zverev when he gets brain transplant.

Understandable  But he is the youngest in the top 300  (On Live Ranking Sinner is 127th)

She's struggling more than she should...

I haven't seen Mertens playing in a while... These courts really suit her game and make it look more beautfiul than it usually is.

Bianca! Tougher than expected but she got it done.

What is he? A failed skier? Sud-Tirol & tennis don't add up much

 

So the last standing quartet in the women tournament are Serena and three players who never reached a GS semi-final before this summer

Poor Andreas Seppi...a top 20 once, this is his 15th years in a row in top 100, and people never heard of a player from South Tyrol.
