No player from the 'lost generation' will ever win a slam-no longer a bold prediction but a reality?

 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.

He may never win a slam, but personally I think it's lovely to see Dimitrov back winning and showing form again.

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

 Well, the last 4 in the list (take out NK as he is out now) are all 90's born, so there is still a chance
