We are about to start a new decade of sports action. The 2010s introduced us to new stars in many sports. Who are the players you expect to take over and dominate in a variety of sports over the next decade? Maybe some that have already arrived and some we don’t know at all yet.
Football: Patrick Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson
Basketball: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic
Baseball: Ronald Acuña Jr (who else, I don’t follow baseball as closely
Hockey: Connor McDavid, Aleksandr Barkov
Soccer: Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Ansu Fati, Joao Felix
Men’s tennis: Stefanos Tsitsipss, Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime
Women’s tennis: Bianca Andreescu, Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff
Golf: ??
Add to any of these sports you want

should still include things like hockey, soccer, and tennis. Some people obviously don't care for those sports for various reasons and thus attempt to belittle them.
