For all the bravado of the younger set (Nick Kyrgios and Grigor Dimitrov specifically with braggart banters; and the talents Milos Roanic and the others rounding out the top 20), Rafa and Roger were still teenagers when they won their first Slam (Nadal at 24 earned a career grand slam) and Nole just 21 for his first.
So, yes the younger will eventually replace the magnificent trio, but, lets hope the trio makes them earn it, not take it by the eventual default of age. Hears to the return of Rafa and Roger, and Nole keep it going too! Such fun!
**** On the women's side, just one word -- Serena.

Prediction: Monfils will be injured and skip the French Open.
