I wonder if having such dominate stars stagnates the field?
In the mens game if you knock Nadal out, you'll inevitably play Federer or Djokovic next or even Murray!
Must be dispiriting to have such a wall in front of you at pretty much every semi final stage, wonder if that does affect players kicking on?
The current crop of promising youngsters are going to get much clearer routes to finals as these players retire.
