 I cant see your so called Lost gen winning a slam at all, but in Current Gen, I hold out hopes for Thiem in Paris next year, and  would watch Medvedev, Khachanov and Kyrgios for a few years yet before writing them off.

 Yeh I agree, the lost gen are as good as dead, might not even get another masters out of them.

 I like your categories, Vandy. But have you left out poor Rafa on purpose ?  

This could all be changed if Nadal loses??

Update coming soon for AO 2020

The QF line up is nearly complete. And it still remains possible that a player born in the 90s will never win a grand slam. Soon the players born in the 00s will come in and dominate.

Old gen:Federer

Old gen II: Novak, Wawrinka (Nadal playing time of writing)

The lost gen:Sangdren, Raonic

Current Gen: Thiem, Kyrgios (time of writing)

Next Gen:Zverev

Next Next gen: All eliminated
