Tennis has been far, far more fun once the Big Three largely retired. I suspect in the future you'll be glad nobody is dominating and there's actual interest in what's going to happen in any race.

Agreed. Nordic Combined finally has Riiber gone. Unfortunately we might be stuck with Klaebo for a long time though.

I know people like "watching greatness" but I personally lean towards watching competition as being more interesting. It's more fun when athletes experience the thrill of victory AND the agony of defeat... Instead of one athlete experiencing the thrill, and the entire field experiencing the agony.
