Is Zverev the next Nalbandian?

[OldschoolKIaus]

Talented but just cannot get his act together to be a real slam contender.

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

I don’t think he’s as talented as nalbandian.

 

[Smecz]

I don’t think he’s as talented as nalbandian.

Nalbadian won Masters Shangai 2005,and Zverev won Olympic Gold Tokyo 2022 and he was in Two Finals Grand Slam, you may not like him but objectively he is a better achievement than Nalbadian...

 

[Rosstour]

Zverev is actually the norm for players

We see so many players who can't front-run. Monfils, Foki, Zverev, TPas, all need a target to chase from behind.

I like zverev. I love the fact he didn’t cuck and he’s now suing that rat journalist. And also I think he’s being very unlucky in his career at key times. Like the RG 2022 QF.

But yes he’s archived more than nalbandian but no way is he more talented than David.

You can count on one hand how many people over 190 cm have won the Grand Slam Medvedev Cilic Safin...

Their problem is moving around the court, even though they are professionals...(it's not their fault, their height makes it difficult)

No, I think Zverev has (had?) better movement than both Cilic and Safin. It wasn't movement that lost him the 2020 US Open.

I don't like Zverev,but He is better than Nalbadian,Alexander won 22 titles,David won only 11titles...

Alexander doesn't has a strong mental,this is his huge weakness.!!

 

[Succession]

Not even close to being as talented as the legend Nalbandian.
And in terms of charisma, style and personality they are leagues apart.

 

[Tennfan123]

Zed has more trophies.
Nalby has more talent.
Both are slamless.
Zod overachieved.
Nalbandian under.
The end.

Zod didn't overachieve. He may not be as talented as Nalbandian, but he was pretty good before the yips set in.

Chainz doesn’t possess a tenth of the racket talent Nalbandian possessed. If you give Nalbandian some extra height, even with his so-so attitude toward the sport and commitment, he wins multiple slams and changes history.

 

[OldschoolKIaus]

Chainz? I thought ABZ ... damn time sure flys.

Nalbandian

Another overrated player from Fed era.

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

Nalbandian

Another overrated player from Fed era.

Yeh so overrated.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Yeh so overrated.

I can show 100 different points as well. You Fed era people don't impress me. Few shots mean nothing.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Even a barely top 10 players like fognini can create some highlights. Doesn't mean much.

Cringe worthy foolish post. So show me more impressive Zverev highlights then?

Ahh Fognini, he’s a Djokovic era clown. Why the heck would you bring him up

 

[nolefam_2024]

Cringe worthy foolish post. So show me more impressive Zverev highlights then?

Definitely I can show. What impresses you. Staying on baseline? Zverev is far better athlete than fat nalbandian so he will stay far back.

 

[nolefam_2024]

To bring down your Federer era clown.

Nalbandian is barely a factor in grand slams and it's not because of Federer like how people used to make excuses for roddick. He is just not good enough. How many slam finals did he lose to Federer lol

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

Definitely I can show. What impresses you. Staying on baseline? Zverev is far better athlete than fat nalbandian so he will stay far back.

Those highlights are clearly less impressive than the nalbandian ones I posted. You have been proven wrong

Your arguing with yourself because didn’t say any of those things about nalbandian. I just said he’s more talented than zverev

 

[nolefam_2024]

You can't prove anything by posting some highlights.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Yes if talent is eating hotdogs he is more talented than zverev.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Zverev is just a hacker. Don't compare him with Nalby

 

[Shaolin]

Zod didn't overachieve. He may not be as talented as Nalbandian, but he was pretty good before the yips set in.

Shaky 2nd serve and FH, lackluster volleys, prone to choking.

Its a wonder he has gotten as far as he has.

Yeh this is more impressive than your Zverev highlights

Good to know your taste is this bad.

 

[sortof]

Nalbandian, Madrid Masters 2007: QF versus Nadal, 6:1, 6:2; SF versus Djokovic, 6:4, 7:6, F versus Federer, 1:6, 6:3, 6:3. A truly remarkable, a legendary performance. Almost an insult to compare him to the Zedmug.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Insult to compare zed to nalbandian

A masters cup at the end of the year is not a good test at all. Who knows how tired a group of players are.

 

[nolefam_2024]

2012 Paris bercy. Exactly same as Madrid in time slot

What a rubbish final. When fedkovic went out in first rounds.

 

[Passingshot78]

Well Goran, Delpo, Stich. And i'm sure there are more

Edit: Krajicek, Kuerten, Moya, Sinner and of course Becker

Edit 2 Also guys like Korda and Kafelnikov both are 190

 

[nolefam_2024]

190 is barely 6'3

Even Andy Murray Boris jannik are taller than that.

 

[ghostofMecir]

Cringe worthy foolish post. So show me more impressive Zverev highlights then?

Don’t bother—Ultimate Tennis Statistics/Wiki is all they understand. They know nothing of the man whose BH looks like a lefty FH and one of the best ball strikers in tennis history.

 

[NeutralFan]

Zed has more trophies.
Nalby has more talent.
Both are slamless.
Zod overachieved.
Nalbandian under.
The end.

Z overachieved? Wtf lol

 

[Hitman]

Well, Zverev has a six pack, Nalbandian had a barrel. It's a long way to go for Zverev to get to being the next Nalbandian.

 

[Aabye5]

Shaky 2nd serve and FH, lackluster volleys, prone to choking.

Its a wonder he has gotten as far as he has.

That's why I said before the yips. When he first burst onto the scene his backhand was excellent and his forehand was still a bit shaky but he could bully people around the court with it. The choking is the reason he hasn't won more.

 

[Aabye5]

Well, Zverev has a six pack, Nalbandian had a barrel. It's a long way to go for Zverev to get to being the next Nalbandian.

Enough German beer should get him there eventually.

 

[kangaroo1973]

Can you imagine Zed beating back to back young Djokovic, pre-prime 2007 Rafa and peak 2007 Fed? And two times in a row( except Djokovic in Madrid, Nalby beat Djokovic, Rafa and Fed, and then once again Fed and Rafa).
Zed would choke as usual, cos he is a mental midget. Which is kinda sad, because he is ridiculously talented with an all time backhand, serve and very solid movement and return

 

[kangaroo1973]

Well, Zverev has a six pack, Nalbandian had a barrel. It's a long way to go for Zverev to get to being the next Nalbandian.

Come on Nalbandian was not fat. Not the thinnest guy on tpur, but far cry from being fat

 

[Mustard]

Zverev has won more than Nalbandian. Zverev for years struggled with a best of 5 sets format. Nalbandian had more talent, won 2 masters and 1 YEC very well, but had a genius for getting himself into winning positions, including in majors, and then self-destructing. The way that Nalbandian was disqualified in the 2012 Queen's Club final against Cilic was basically a fitting epitaph for Nalbandian's tennis career.

 

[Hitman]

Have him stand next to Zverev and compare their stomachs. In comparison to Zverev, he is fat.

Yeah, he would probably choke, but in Bo3 he might stand a chance. Talent-wise both were quite dangerous.

 

[kangaroo1973]

In comparison to Zed, everyone is fat. That guy has like 40 kgs along with his boots

 

[kangaroo1973]

This explains the rest of your comment

Like Zverev?
What s wrong with you

 

[Smecz]

Nalbandian doesn't even come close to zed. Zed is mental mug. But he is now the best worst player in modern tennis history.

Yeah,huge true,but saying that Nalbadian was better than Zverev is a total misunderstanding...

Of course you don't think so, but others on the forum do...

They go by the name.
Like beating a fed is 20 times better than beating a medvedev. Upsets happen. But once matured, Fed never got challenged by this guy in slams. At all.

Nole, Rafa, Andy have positive h2h despite being youngsters. But this 1 event is all that is enough for few.
