I'm still going to find players to follow (Shapo, FAA, Thiem, Tsitsipas) but I won't be as invested as I am right now.

the post Sampras era looked pretty bleak, with a bunch of just ok dudes like Roddick, Hewitt, Safin etc. inheriting the tour. Roger was still just a pouty, inconsistent former junior champion and Rafa was still learning to use a potty or something. no we almost certainly won't get the triple goat thing ever again, but it's always possible someone out of this crowd is going to emerge with the heart of a legend and be someone we can follow for the next 15-20 years.
