Oh well, we don't have a guaranteed arguable GOAT as a 19 year old. They still are more promising than any 19 year old we've had since Del Potro probably (and injuries ruined him)

Strange that considering even Djokovic at 24 wouldn't have been regarded as anything like GOAT.

He won two Grand Slams before the age of 24 and two more shortly after his 24th birthday and at that point held three of the four titles. Head and shoulders above anything that any current young player is likely to achieve.
i didn't put them in a GOAT discussion as you seem to be doing...? even the potential is not there is what i was saying...

Maybe. I really think Zverev has the game to be something special, but the bar is set so high by the current guys I'm not sure what the standard is. One aspect of what makes Djokovic and Murray so much better than anyone else right now is their incredible endurance and fitness. Will take years for the young guys to get that fit probably.
that is what i am talking about...

Yeah I get that, but I guess my points is I am not sure we thought Fed or Muzz were going to be as good as they were when they were 19? I know Fed was seen to be very talented, but be ATG? Dunno. Nadal and Novak yeah we knew they'd be awesome.
And even if Zverev and co don't hit those heights, not sure that means we don't have the next generation of "champions". I think we shouldn't take this current generation for granted, and anyone not as good as the big 3-4 aren't excellent.

On the women's side, Muguruza got a much tougher draw here than at RG. Lots of players (Venus, Janković, Šafářová, Keys, Kerber) that could go toe to toe with her. Potentially Lisicki too, she needs some points if she's to maintain that all-important C-list celebrity status in the Federal Republic.
Also a potential tasty Serena-Mladenovic R3 replay.

Always had him pegged as similar to Spanish clay specialists
