Related to my post above about who Shane beat in Florida, the most impressive thing is how well he still plays at 43.
We are in the midst of a changing of the guard. Most of the top players over the past five to 10 years have seen a clear dip in performance, even though many are still in their 30s.
SVB has maintained his level. Carlo, too. Yapp stepped into the top ranks two years ago and is likely to stay awhile. He's just 30. Filler and Gorst, in the mid to late 20s, are in their prime and are the best two players in the world. (I omit the Ko brothers due to focus on China).
