Poll: Best German tennis player in the world

[James P]

Poll time! Better German tennis player? Alexander Zverev or Jan-Lennard Struff?

 

[Tennfan123]

Struff!
Is ABZ German?

 

[DSH]

The spectre.

 

[ronalditop]

I'll wait to answer after the match is finished.

 

[Jonesy]

Right now, Struff. Of all time, Becker. A win win for ABZ.

 

[AO13]

It depends.

If Struff wins the Madrid, he might be the best in form German tennis player at the moment, as it will give him great boost of confidence and momentum and he might continue to do great.

If he losses, he'll continue his mediocre career.

 

[CHillTennis]

I think I'll take Struff over "Beater."

 

[Nate7-5]

Currently: Stuff
Career: Becker

 

[Wooly]

Im German, and i like Struff very much, but for the last few Years, Zverev was clearly the best german player. But its good to have a few more, as Tennis in germany needs clearly a few more heroes.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Right now probably Struff. Zverev has looked like rotten rear since the ankle breaks. Remains to be seen if he can get back to RG form of last year

 

[Mainad]

Lol at no-titles-Struff winning the poll against a guy with 8 big titles to his name and still ranked 49 places above him!!

 

[Arak]

Best German player? Unequivocally, Steffi Graf. Second best, Becker. Third best, Stich.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Most aesthetic: Kohlschreiber.

Lol, prime example of the recency effect.

Incorrect.
The best German male tennis player until the appearance of Boris Becker was Baron Gottfried von Cramm.
Two-time winner of Roland Garros, three-time Wimbledon finalist, US Open finalist, Australian Open semifinalist, he was also the first tennis player from his country to reach the number 1 in the world in the year 1937.
Although he will be remembered for being against the Na-zi regime.
The story of this great player is extraordinary, worth having a documentary.

 

[BumElbow]

Isn't Zverev really Russian? Struff has been a dangerous player to face for a long time. I am very happy to see him have a great run in Madrid.

I thought we were talking subjectively. Interesting story though. Will look him up.

Haha, the world is ABZ's oyster!

He was born in Hamburg, go figure.

 

[TimHenmanATG]

Is ABZ German?

Is John McEnroe American? I'm sure he must have 100% Lakota or Sioux ancestry...

 

[accidental]

Struff is #13 in the ATP race and Zverev is #29

 

[Benf15harp3000]

Thomas Mario Haas would beat both right now.

 

[BorgTheGOAT]

All time: 1. Becker 2. Gottfried von Cramm 3. Nüsslein 4. Stich, 2 and 3 are interchangeable.

Out of active players, it is still Zverev.
