Your Stan Wawrinka example is very funny. Just fyi. That dude had to wait for the two best players of all time (certainly on clay) began to deteriorate in order to get that high. Also, giving two examples doesn’t qualify as some sort of “new age” for tennis players. Please.

There’s reason to think this may change. Also, I don’t think Gael Monfils or Stan Wawrinka qualify as one of the “few great players in the game.”

6 of the top 10 players are 29 or older. Primes seem to be extending into the early 30s.
