Name some players who will never win a major

[messiahrobins]

Grigor Dimitrov. 32 years old and doing absolutely nothing at the majors.

Always wondered if it was more than a co-incidence that Dimitrov's best results came at events where the WTA members were not playing at the same event.

Typical TW.

Rublev wins a Masters against a completely depleted field (facing FAA in the final whos choked in 90% of his finals) and now suddenly he will win a slam.

The RG field will also be extremely depleted. Nadal and Djokovic will not win, Carlos and Sinner are injured.

Literally the favorites for the title are chokers who have no business winning a slam and that does include Rublev. Tsitsipas would be my pick for the trophy but solely because the field is decimated. So yes, Rublev literally could also win RG this year. Even Med could do it.

if sinner and alcaraz aren’t healthy then the field is open for any of these mugs to win. Especially with Djoker and nadals careers essentially over

Hell Kyrgios winning Wimbledon wouldn’t even surprise me at this rate. Now is a good time to be a mug in tennis. It’s wide open. All the great player are on their way out or injured

Yes in a decimated field then Rublev could maybe slip through, or Zed etc unfortunately.

 

[Spin Diesel]

Novak and Nagal

 

[Fabresque]

Where does Stefanos have a chance at? RG?

I also don’t think there’s any American on tour currently with a slam winning beeline anytime soon, except Shelton. He might do it.

 

[Jonas78]

Of the ATP players currently ranked in the top-20, I'd say:
Felix, Khach, de Minaur, Ruud, Bublik, Baez

My list is probably smaller than most, mainly because I worry about how injury-prone guys like Sinner and Alcaraz might end up being. And Djoker eventually has to tail off. So I think that there will be opportunities for guys like Tsitsipas, and even Zverev in the near future.

I cannot see writing off a guy like Rune. He's barely 21 years old and has already made a 3 QFs. Where was Federer at this age? Through his age-21 season, Federer had 2 career QFs in slams, which includes 0 during his age-21 season in 2002(includes a Wimbledon 1st round exit in straights by a qualifier).

Ruud can win a French Open in this field imo, he has a fair record on clay vs anyone (given Djokodal stays in Helsinki)

Dimitrov

be ready to be disappointed again

Who is ready to believe in Dimitrov one last time ?

Out of all the players in his side of the draw, Dimitrov is the player I like the most (Rune is a close second). He is a mug, a choker, a mental midget, but still his game can be so aesthetically pleasing that it's hard for me not to root for him to make the SF. Afterall when he made that deep...

i'm in, as always:

These players will win majors in next 5 years for sure (some of them already done so) -
1. Medvedev
2. Tsitsipas
3. Zverev
4. Alcaraz
5. Sinner
6. Rublev

Rune, Ruud, Fritz & Hubie also has an outside chance...

We are entering into a competitive era where it's gonna be more open like 80's or early 90's though quality wise it might not be as good as the era of the big 3/4...

Alexander Zverev!

This is exactly why those claiming numbers are everything are wrong and context has to be added. If Rublev wins the FO, no way am i going to think he was greater than Dimitrov or David Ferrer for example.

Out of this list I doubt Rublev and Zverev ever will. Tsitsi has a 50/50 chance depending on the form of his opponents on clay

I perfectly understand your doubts. I am not sure if Zverev or Tsitsipas even deserve a major...but my point is, there are 4 slams each year and someone or the other will be winning them (deserving or not). I can't see Alcaraz and Sinner sweeping everything next 5 years, just yet...

Barring some miracle dream draw Rublev isn’t winning any slam.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Barring some miracle dream draw Rublev isn’t winning any slam.

Rublev is +2800 for rg. That is like 3% chance to win RG.

As you said, barring miracle the Rublev slam dream will not be fullfilled.

Tsitsipas Zverev are not in the same boat. Even Ruud who reached three slam finals.
