Generation Worthless
Has there ever been a more worthless generation than with this lot?
No.
It's beyond worthless. It's just pathetic in the extreme.
Across the board, these chump bottlers show time and time again why they are failures—whether it be due to lack of brains, despite having the game (Cilic springs to mind... so, too, sadly, does Del Potro), having the gumption of a three year old (Kyrgios), the bottle of one of those sugar beer bottles (Theim, Zverev, Nishikori, Raonic, Dimitrov - take your pic) , they are all exceptional at only one thing: LOSING.
The place that suffers most is clay. At the moment, there are only two candidates for basically every French Open - Nadal and Djokovic. There are ZERO other clay specialists (and to be fair, Djok is a hard court specialist). Theim can hardly be called a specialist - unless it's in bottling on the biggest stage.
With that said, I will now place - in order - my top 8 most worthless players of the last 5 years:
8. Del Potro
I know what you're thinking. Is Daniel crazy putting this amazing player of yesteryear in the mix? A slam winner. Well, yeah. You know why? Because he's a Cilic clone. And a total underachiever. He has more bottle and that's it. But he's so utterly brainless and void of a game plan. I've never seen any player with this man's talent and height so afraid of the net. It's comical - the same as with Cilic - to watch him fire a bomb out wide to then just sit there waiting for it to be floated back to one inch on the baseline. He's got great movement and he doesn't use it. He's stuck in his ways and so will be stuck on one Slam forever.
7. Cilic
Brainless. He isn't totally in with Generation Worthless, but if he wasn't the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz, he'd have won far more.
6. Zverev
There's time yet, but he's doing his best to join the rest of these chumps. Every slam, we wonder if he's finally going to excel. Now is the time... said quite a few after last years Tour Finals, but we all remember Dimitrov doing the same....
5. Theim
There's time yet, just like Zverev - but that time is running out and so is my patience. On clay, he shows promise. But look at how he folded like wet tissue paper in the FO. Where it matters, so far, he's firmly part of Generation Worthless.
4. Raonic
I remember bigging this guy up. He has the serve, he has the forehand. He looked for a small time like he had the mental aptitude, too - but he's another clueless bottler when it matters.
3. Dimitrov
What a waste. Gutless. Brainless. Bottler. Baby Fed was being kind. He's more like Foetus Fed.
2. Kyrgios
I have Kyrgios at number 2 because out of this whole bunch he's the one person who could win multiple slams and doesn't realize it through petulance. It's one thing to be a bottler - but another to have all the right ingredients, but simply not give a toss. He's pushed Federer at his best the last few years to the limits - but one match won't win you tournaments. I love Kyrgios... but he needs to ship up or ship out.
1. Nishikori
I think this worthless sack of excrement can be the only candidate for the N1 most worthless player. A pure bottler wimp. The only thing this guy excels at more than kicking out a decent prospect early on - is retiring a few rounds later. When the opponent sees they have Nishikori in a QF, SF, or final, they roll around on the floor laughing. He has no stamina, no mental reserves, no fight. I wish he'd just retire.
I also missed Anderson. Another who fails at the finish line.
No.

I bet Roddick is thinking "I had to put up with Fed in beast mode and a solid field. Wish I were around now to get a retiring numpty like Nish"

Except if you look at Federer with his smaller racquet, he was generating better forehands. Videos are all there.
It's laughable you think Nish has any prayer v Fed's 2003-10 stage.

Re: Generation Worthless
It doesnt matter how great was his FH if his BH was soft and weak. That's where they were playing him. Fed was getting lessoned by young Nadal, young Djoko and young Murray. Those guys became monsters of consistency thereafter..yet Fed kept up with them thanks to improving his game and tool.

So if Fed was always with a DHBH he would of been on 30GS?

I think had he learnt to play with the bigger frame, he would probably have never lost to those guys....unless injured like he sometimes was.

Difficult to say. He may have fared better against that kind of gameplan that Nadal, Murray and Djoko employee. But the old racquet was better for slicing and the Slicing BH also helped him a lot against other guys like Roddick, Nalbandian and Hewitt.
So we may never know if Fed's overall haul of slam was going to be any more.

Re: Generation Worthless
I did enjoy that - although I find him an extremely frustrating presence in tournaments for much the reasons Daniel says, I'm not sure I'd describe Nishikori as a worthless sack of excrement, not least because uniquely of all the players mentioned he has a case for saying that he has achieved the (frustrating) best available to someone of his limited physical gifts in this era.
I can't help hearing echoes of Henman in the case of Nishikori.
I'm a fan of Del Boy - but I agree that he needs (or needed) to be more than a somewhat one-dimensional bludgeon.

it is not really a problem of these generations... the thing is, it is totally extraordinary to have 3 goat level tennis players like we have had since 2004
you cant blame later generations when truth is, never in the history of the sport 3 players of such level shared the tour

I'd only ever agree if Henman's will and conditioning was as weak as Nishikori's!
On that level, Nishikori has no equal.

I do not agree about Delpo. He would have done well had he not had his injuries.
I also derive some pleasure from the fact that Zverev has been to one slam QF. So it is.not all bad.

And so..... after all said and done... the same people in the final. Again. YAWN. Generation Worthless indeed.
The only positive is that Nadal's clearly on his way out. Time to join the other defending bore - Murray. About time.

I can see Pouille and Tsitsi following in the footsteps of Gasquet and Janowicz after they made the semis.
They won't bring it when it matters most.

Re: Generation Worthless
Frankly it is so difficult to predict.
Look at Shapo..he is certainly one with talent but his mind is all over the place. On the other hand look at Medv he looked mentally so bad at first and now he is one of the most dangerous out there.
Kasha can also do some damage. But winning slams is so tough physically that being 30, like winning the tour, actually helps nowadays.

Re: Generation Worthless
My concern for the latest young generation is firstly the lack of self-belief.
Tsits is the only one that comes across as genuinely entitled.
And I think he will somehow survive next two years unscathed.
Everyone else looks already burnt out in their desire: Shapo, Rublev etc...
It is weird to have this prolonged tennis careers phenomenon...but looking at other sports it’s probably going to become a norm.

Re: Generation Worthless
But don’t forget Tenez and NITB’s mantra: Nishikori is so talented.
He’s bloody useless. As Daniel has stated, a virtual bye in the latter rounds. By that stage he’d be guaranteed to have already played multiple 5 setters arriving with his body held together by duct tape. As BB has said, what is the point of him?
Agree with SB regarding DP. He’s just been unlucky with injuries.
Djokovic has been munching on this weak era for the last 5 years. Wait, hang on..apologies NITB and Tenez, allow me to rephrase; Djokovic has been dominating the most advanced and highest level field in the history of the sport. Because we know the field just keeps getting stronger every year. Never mind that 35/6 year old Federer also dominated the same field after being out for 6 months with injury - he too of course was better than ever.

Nishi stopped Djoko from having an extra slam. Delpo never stopped Djokovic in a slam.

Well, that’s partly the point. He’s as fragile as a glass vars and predictably falls apart by the latter rounds. But even when fit he’s not actually a threat to win anything.
Actually, I do think Nishikori is a great ball striker - but he’s not a champ.

My problem with him more than anything is his lack of fight and mental fortitude. He rolls over every time. Doesn't even challenge. There's no spark or will to win... or real passion to make you believe he wants it. The US Open final was the same... he just looked like he didn't give a crap. He's a total LOSER! A LOSER!!!
There are players on tour that don't have 1/8 the talent of Nishikori, but I'd sooner take their 50+ ranking - because they play to win and give a shit - than be Nishikori. I don't understand how any professional player can reach his ranking and be so worthless.

Re: Generation Worthless
But Nishi is one player who at 25 was hurting all 3 players! Beat Fed...made Nadal look stupid on clay and beat Djoko a few times. I could not predict that his injuries and lack of form or else would make him decline from number 4 to number 40....Emancipator wrote:Well, that’s partly the point.

No-one can predict those losses of form. The talent is there...even if indeed very fragile since those injuries.

Funnily though, he has the best 5th set record from among all active players - better than Nole, better than Rafa. I suppose he gets himself into 5th sets against all kinds of riffraff, and wins those. Whereas against the top players he just folds and never even sees the 5th set.

Re: Generation Worthless
Can we add Zverev to the list of pointless players?
Even if he does somehow win a slam it will be when all the good players are retired/ injured.
Hys style is unique in that it manages to turn off both Federer and Nadal fans. He has a big serve which isn't particularly flashy, and he doesn't attack much from the baseline, just a steady hard hitter. Waste of space

He will be a much better player than Djoko will be...probably not at "tropheed" but he already showed in that first set how good he can be. Did Djoko throw many matches away before 2011 v Nadal and Federer?

Shapovalov losing in st. sets to Struff. 3 times in the last 3 meetings. And he doesn't have the excuse of clay here. He is supposed to be winning or at least making finals of these smaller 250 tournaments.
I'm hoping he is injured, else he these continuous early exists are hurting my hopes on him.
Tsitsipas is the by far the best 21- players out there.

Yup, Tsitsipas is carrying the bulk of the weight of the expectations of his generation on his shoulders.
Thiem has edged forward slowly this year, but he's 25 and it's his 6th year on tour.
Perhaps it's worth remembering that Stan was a frustrating and patchy presence until he bloomed pretty late on?

Re: Generation Worthless
it all happens later now
there was a time in which tennis player over 29 years old were considered old, and rarely won big tournaments
and in those times, big star started winning slams as teenagers
mcenroe won his first at 20 and last slam at 25
wilander won his first at 17 and last slam at 24
edberg first at 19 and last at 26
becker first at 17 and last at 28
lendl 21-29
Borg: 18-25
its also true that before those years and after, players kept winning at older age

Norman has to take a significant amount of credit for Wawrinka becoming a Slam winner. Shored up the FH and made it a weapon and also got Wawrinka serving quicker.
Tsitsipas has shown steady consistency. Similarly like Zverev, but with another gear/level he can go up.
Thiem I reckon will lift RG, but won't be the serial winner like the Big 3 or even Stan or Murray.
Shapovalov seems like he has the making of that rather erratic inconsistent player that will frustrate more than thrill. He just doesn't seem to have found the gradual consistency or that baseline consistency that Tsitsipas has established. Too much guts and glory is Shapovalov and will likely end up being the Fognini of his generation. Someone that had the tools to achieve more than they did.

This is true.....and I have clearly explained why. It is not rocket science. But for some reasons people get stuck to the short time (beginning of he open era 1975 - 95) where players were pushed down the ranking by new comers.naxroy wrote:it all happens later now

Re: Generation Worthless
They should have a WorthlessGen year-end finals just like they have for NextGen. Anyone who is between 25-30, and used to be promising but never got anywhere could qualify.
Here are some potential contenders - some of them from Daniel's list above, but some others too:
Kyrgios, current #36, high rank #13, prodigious talent, waste of space
Dimitrov, #46, high #3, what has ever happened to him?
Rublev, #81, high #31, still young but rapidly headed to the garbage heap
Tomic, #88, high #17, the less said the better
Vesely, #107, high #35, this one was once also talked about as future potential, now at 25 he seems to be long washed up
Hyeon Chung, #157, high #19, another one to forget, no longer even highest ranked Korean (Korean!)
Kokkinakis, #183, high #69, was he meant to be good? There was some talk at one point, all fizzled by now
The ATP could stage a year-end tournament for them somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Kyrgios, current #36, high rank #13, prodigious talent, waste of space
Dimitrov, #46, high #3, what has ever happened to him?
Rublev, #81, high #31, still young but rapidly headed to the garbage heap
Tomic, #88, high #17, the less said the better
Vesely, #107, high #35, this one was once also talked about as future potential, now at 25 he seems to be long washed up
Hyeon Chung, #157, high #19, another one to forget, no longer even highest ranked Korean (Korean!)
Kokkinakis, #183, high #69, was he meant to be good? There was some talk at one point, all fizzled by now

Re: Generation Worthless
Dolgopolov, high rank #13 - I really liked him, his slicing was superb, light on the feet, slim little fast git, seemed like floating on court when in right mood. Made some money, but also has Gilberts syndrome. Beat Fed&Stan for Miami doubles title, hehe.
Goffin, current #30, high rank #7, dont know what his problem is, mental midget too? lost 7 finals so far.

Re: Generation Worthless
Worthless generation continues... Just no end to this same tired lineup. And changing the conditions to favour these baseline one dimensional turds isn't helping any.

Re: Generation Worthless
Get a mind of your own and learn to have critical thinking, rather than be a silly fanboy bellend suckling at Nadal's teet as if he knows or cares about you.
You don't play this game and you know fuck all.

Re: Generation Worthless
I do play the game though. Better on Hc than Clay btw. You hate too much. I wish you could feel love sometime

He is a hater too and should get a life, isn't it?
