We come from a time where three men shared 90% of the Grand Slams, and we are heading towards a new era where it seems that history repeats itself, only this time the sharing is between two. Is it fair to acknowledge that it's almost impossible to win a Grand Slam right now if you're not Sinner or Alcaraz? That's what the good Tallon Griekspoor hinted at when asked about the dangers of playing a tournament the week before a major. His response is priceless.

"I'd rather win an ATP 250 title the week before than prepare well for a Grand Slam. Sorry, at the end of my career, they will ask me how many titles I won or what my ranking was – they won't mention that I lost in the first round of Wimbledon to Brooksby," evaluated the Dutchman on The Changeover Podcast. What do you think?
