Andy Murray has claimed Jack Draper is "right in the mix" with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner to win future Grand Slams. And the double Wimbledon champion has claimed the current top two players in the world have a long way to rival the achievements of the Big Three. "We'll see whether they get that," said the Scot.
The world of tennis was yesterday still reverberating to the five-hour, five-set French Open final won in dramatic style by Alcaraz. Andre Agassi claimed the Spaniard combines the best attributes of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal - and will be even more dangerous at Wimbledon.
And fellow TNT Sports analyst John McEnroe backed Alcaraz and Sinner to have beaten Rafa Nadal "at his best" following their epic final in Paris.
Speaking at Queen's Club, Murray was full of praise for the two young stars who have won the last six Grand Slam titles "They're both brilliant athletes and very different personalities, which I think for fans is really exciting," he told BBC Sport.
"Moving forward, men's tennis is in a great place. People always worry at the end of a generation of players what's going to happen with the sport next, but generally sports continue to evolve and, in most cases, improve. From what I've been told, it was one of the best finals for a long time.
"Jack's right in the mix just now and doing extremely well. He's going to give himself opportunities to win majors over the next five, 10 years."
New world No.4 Draper, who reached the US Open semi-finals, is now set to be seeded to avoid the top two at Wimbledon until the last four.
But Murray cautioned against recency bias after the first-ever Gen Z final between two men born this century. Alcaraz now has five Grand Slams and Sinner, 23, is still on three.
Novak Djokovic (24), Nadal (22) and Roger Federer's (20) shared 66 Grand Slam singles titles as they dominated the sport for over a decade. And three-time Major winner Murray said: "The sport's in a really good place but it's important not to forget what the guys have done before them, what Roger, Rafa and Novak have done,.
"Winning 20-plus majors is something exceptional and it's easy in today's age to forget a little bit about that. I saw some pundits saying if [Alcaraz and Sinner] went on court against Rafa at the French Open, they would be favourites going into that match with Rafa in his prime.
"Alcaraz and Sinner are on the path to being two of the best, no doubt about that, but it takes time to build what Roger, Rafa, and Novak had. We'll see whether they get that."
But Alcaraz, 22, is trending in the right direction after winning his fifth Grand Slam title at exactly the same age as Nadal. "I'm going to say that's destiny," he said "Hopefully it's not going to stop like this."
After saving three match points against Sinner, Alcaraz's coach Juan Carlos Ferrero claimed: "I think he was born to play these kinds of moments. With Carlos, anything is possible."
The top two male players on the planet will now rest before playing grasscourt events next week in the build-up to Wimbledon. They will be seeded to meet in the SW19 final July 13 in the potential next installment of their rivalry.
Ferrero added: "Jannik is a great champion, he'll go all out at Wimbledon. We're leaving with a two-Grand Slam advantage over him. They raise their level every time that they go on the court."
Alcaraz, who celebrated last year's French Open win in Ibiza, is scheduled to play the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club starting on Monday.
Sinner said: "I'll prepare to play on grass in Halle before Wimbledon, the next goal. But now is not the time to cry."
