Shelton, Draper, Rune & the “Blocked Generation” | ATP 2025 Review - Part 2

What if you were good enough to be a Grand Slam contender… in any other era? Part 2 of our ATP Year-End Review looks at the players aged 22–24 — the cohort stuck directly behind Alcaraz and Sinner. This is the group that knows the assignment: solve the best duo men’s tennis has seen in 20 years… or sit in the waiting room forever. We dive into: • Ben Shelton — the competitive mutant who has climbed faster than his skill set was “supposed” to • Flavio Cobolli — burning competitive fire plus a late-season breakout that changes everything • Jack Draper — elite results, still searching for the identity that unlocks it all • Holger Rune — consistency is nice… but where are the big Slam runs? Plus the truth they all face: there’s no “waiting out” the top anymore. The future is happening in real time. Send us a text
