I still haven't seen anything from the young players that makes me believe in them. If someone under 25 wins a major this year the best shot will be the US Open. Thiem is the 2nd best clay court player in the world right now, unfortunate for him the best clay court player of all time is currently still playing at a peak level. Wimbeldon maybe if Milos is healthy he has a shot, but again, the greatest grass court player ever is still playing at a high level. I would like to see some young guys step it up, just hasn't happened yet. Maybe Shapo at the US Open?
I doubt Milos ever makes a semi final or cracks the top 20 ever again. Shapavalov will pass him after Wimbledon.
