The last two decades have been a golden age for tennis. Players like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, and Novak Djokovic collectively have claimed 66 Grand Slam titles. And it’s not just the gentlemen who claimed this remarkable feat; women’s tennis has history makers too, with the Williams sisters asserting their dominance by amassing a total of 44 Grand Slams together. After such a glittering era, the discussion about passing the mantle to the next generation, which boasts of players like Nick Kyrgios, has been doing the rounds lately.

Following a golden age of greatness, tennis' next generation are ready to take over.
