Tennis: Becker slates younger generation's inability to challenge 'big three'


(Reuters) - Boris Becker says younger players on the men's tour do not have the right mindset to challenge the "big three" of Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the Grand Slams. Becker, who won Wimbledon aged 17 and went on to win six Slams, said it was the mental aspect of the game more than anything that set Nadal, Federer (37) and Djokovic (32) apart. Other players to reach men's Grand Slam finals in the past three years were Juan Martin del Potro, Kevin Anderson, Marin Cilic and Stan Wawrinka -- all aged 30 and above. "As much as I respect Roger, Rafa and Novak, young players should show up," Becker added. "There's a certain mentality that they (younger players) don't have, that the three others do have.
