The top three players in the world have dominated the ATP circuit for well over a decade and amassed 53 Grand Slam titles between them. Only Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro - who are now all over 30 - have beaten Federer, Nadal and Djokovic to a Grand Slam title since 2005. With the tennis heavyweights coming towards the latter end of their careers there are doubts over the future of the mens game. And Becker is fearful for the younger generation because they have not been able to dethrone the kings of their sport. "That is not good," Becker said.

"That is not a compliment for anybody under 28. "And don't give me that the others are too good. We should question the quality and the attitude of everybody under 28.

Too busy buying expensive coffees and not owning their own houses to put in the hours needed to be a tennis champion.

I mean it is a bit disgraceful that no one under 30 can break through these old farts. Just shows how great they are, I love watching them.

So is this the topic to discuss how the same three guys have dominated tennis for over a decade? Or did the buzzword Millennials kill that discussion? And the thread is about going after that term.

Six-time Grand Slam winner Becker wants to see the leading trio defeated while they are at the top of their game. "Eventually they will be too old. But you want to see the passing of the torch while they are still in their prime," added Becker. "You want to see Stefanos [Tsitsipas] and Dominic [Thiem] beating them when they are still very, very good.
