    quite surprising that it's never happened before. 10 years ago everyone kept saying that the youngsters needed years of aerobic conditioning to get far in a slam, wonder if that has changed?

    What I've seen Alcaraz, Rune, Sinner > Nishikori, Raonic...

    But then lurking behind big three for a decade: there were also Murray, Wawrinka, Del Potro and Cilic. I cannot call them sloughs?

    Meds is already established. Also maybe Zverev and Thiem. Tsitsi needs just one inch more (common with some?)

    more than 1 at a time in q/f?


    It just shows teens are very young.

    You can have bunch of 20-year olds and think wow this is a young draw, but they aren't teens.

    Teens are even younger.

    How about this: Three players with the same birthday (not year) played in the quarters today (Sabalenka, Alcaraz, Eubanks; all born May 5). Has that happened ever?
