Everyone keeps praising the "incredible current tennis era" but everyone praised the endless variety of opponents for Roger and Rafa from 2003 to 2009 (Roddick? Berdych? Tsonga?), and everyone praised how Sampras generously shared tennis in the 90s like a benevolent king (never won RG).

Listening to everyone here it seems like there’s too much talent, but in reality there isn’t: Fonseca, Fils, Mensik, and Engel (and maybe Kouame...) are still just names. The talent for the future isn’t actually guaranteed, but on this forum, if you even win a slam at 19 or early 20's, you’re already "the next GOAT."

It’s supposedly the era of Sinner and Carlos now, and it will be for at least another 2 years, but in my opinion, Fonseca will not be competitive for slams before 2027 and we know a healthy Dimitrov can still take down Sinner at WB.

Tomorrow will be the same era again.

I'd probably nominate this thread for this year's TOTY edition if it weren't Ruins material at its core.
But it's definitely the best countertroll thread out there. RUNECARAZ ERA's trolling doesn't hold a candle to this thread. I think it could even give some of peak Passion Alcaraz's threads a good fight.

True. Out-pushing and outenduransing thread was ultra tame compared to this effort.

Who could possibly praise this era? The mentally disabled? Its a two man era and quite frankly neither guy is even that great. Sinner is completely overrated and is essentially just a better moving Thomas Berdych with an even crappier serve. . Alcaraz is Becker level at best. . And the third best player in the world was alive when the Dead Sea was only Sick. And the fourth best player in the world is 0 for Life against that third best player who was in his Prime during the Archie Bunker era
