How is Zverev 8th in the Race to London?! Does he just play a lot? Feels like he’s had a brutal year; I can’t think of where the points are coming from.

I wanted to root massively for PCB at WTF17, but you can't Busta nut in November.AO 4R, FO QF, USO 4R, Finals of Acapulco, SF of China.
That is more than enough for YEC .. Remember guys like Busta , Isner made it to YEC in this era and we have Agut, Fognini coming in this year.

Ok sizzle chest ...
As Kyrgios constantly reminds us with his results, he has zero top 10 weeks in his career.The field has just been awful this year besides exactly 6 players. If Zverev makes it it’ll be one of the most undeserved spots in a while. As Kyrgios reminded us, he has zero top 10 wins this year.

Them being injured doesn’t make the field less awful, it contributes to it. They’re not consistent or true threats to big titles anymore. For Zverev I mean of course he technically deserves it if he makes it, I’m saying that there are other players who have had really good years with a lot of good wins and titles, while Zverev has just basically benefited off his seeding and won matches here and there until he crossed an actually in-form player.Awful is pushing it - Wawrinka, Del Potro, Raonic and Murray are/were injuried. With the ranking system being around, you can't actually claim that something is undeserved because everything is measured with points. If Zverev makes it as a top 8 which he would likely do than he deserves it, not to mention that its quite likely that he wins one of the remaining Masters.
Also Zverev coming in as the 7th or 8th seed could provide a great dept for WTF
I think its because 4, 5, and 6 players are relatively strong and the points hurdle looks like it may be at an all time low this year for the 7th and 8th spots.How is Zverev 8th in the Race to London?!

You forgot to mention Tipsarevic.AO 4R, FO QF, USO 4R, Finals of Acapulco, SF of China.

At the same time probably one of the most talented players to be in 7th or 8th spot. Much better than the alternative and of course Zverev beat Djokovic and Federer last year to take WTF. Not sure if undeserved is the word. The points total for 7 and 8 will likely be under 3000.The field has just been awful this year besides exactly 6 players.

Legit think Murray is playing better tennis right now
My God man do you have amnesia about the likes of serve lite Ferrer and Bendych sitting in WTF year after year?Them being injured doesn’t make the field less awful, it contributes to it.

And it’s far from “quite likely” that he wins one of the Masters. Most of the rest of the top 10 is still playing better than he is.
Ok for sure there's been some clowns in there recently. Carreno Busta, Tipsarevic, Sock. So maybe Zverev isn't all that outrageous.My God man do you have amnesia about the likes of serve lite Ferrer and Bendych sitting in WTF year after year?
Zverev and Tsitsipas at likely 6 and 7 this year at least are legit contenders for the crown.
Wot8.Zverev A.2435+180 (greater talent than Del Po)
And his worst outside of themThis has actually been Saschas best year at the slams.

I'm not sure if I'd call him a threat for the title though, at this point at least. Things can change in the next month, but again, as of now he's at zero top ten wins for the year.
Also, in regards to your other post, calling Zverev a better talent than Del Potro...that's a hot take right there. There is no telling how good of a career Del Potro would have had if it was not for injuries, but at Zverev's age he had taken down prime Fed and Nadal back to back in a slam. Zverev can't even beat the old, nearly retired versions of them.
LOL - shows how poor he is in them then. Still no SF for the man.
Federer reached his first semi at a similar age to what Zverev is now.
