Of course I don’t really hate the big 3 but some things about them in tandem that I consider unfortunate consequences.
Anymore?
- Way too high expectations going forward. Before them a player winning 3-6 Slams was a great champion, someone with 7+ could be conspired ATG. There were valid reasons (at the time) Pistol Pete was in the conversation for GOAT status, now he’s dismissed as a fake pretender. T’aint true! If Alcaraz ends up with “only” 4-8 slams that achievement could be minimized by some.
- The “inequalities” magnified by the Big 3
dominance for such an extended period: by their late 20’s they could afford an entourage with nutritionist/trainer/conditioner/health therapist and even medical staff on call. What other players could afford the overhead of at least 500k a year to give them even more extended professional shelf life?
Anymore?
