I think he passed Rublev but no one else.

Obviously passed Rublev, but since you said "current" pecking order I'd have to put him above Tsitsipas as well. He's had a dreadful season+, going back to last year's RG.

I consider them a different generation, Alcaraz and Sinner.

As soon as I saw this, I looked up Matteo Berrettini and Casper Ruud match results. Based on the live match results, I think Ruud might win this match because he will probably take the second set. (U.S. Open 2022 Quarterfinal) I said might because Berrettini might put some serves in the box and put the match into a tiebreak, in the third set. Just my prediction.

Despite the win today over Berry (which I did not watch any of), I think the only player on this list Ruud has surpassed overall is Rublev.

The others didn't face Nadal in a RG final... can't compare it to facing Thiem at the USO; and I love Thiem, but you just can't compare.

I think the only option I can realistically pick is Rublev.
Also think Sinner/Alcaraz have a higher ceiling than him.
Not a hot take I know but yea in my mind this is sort of a pseudo-transitional phase atm.
Just really random stuff happening.

I like Ruud and I hope he wins it all at the USO but
at anyone who thinks he has already surpassed anyone in that list.

Zverev is MILES clear of Ruud... he has Masters 1000 titles, Ruud has 0 titles over 250 level. That's a total non-comparison.

I wasn't implying otherwise. Just that the measuring stick shouldn't be the performance on one slam final. Zverev is also olympic champion.

All but Zverev. Zverev at RG showed how irritated he is with the Alcaraz hype and put a beat down on him seeing Ruud and Sinner now consistently delivering he will want to respond. I think next season those 4 will share the slams.

Ruud has been making waves, but he really doesn't seem to shine brighter than anyone on the poll list has, bar maybe Rublev. Medvedev and Zverev in particular though. By what metrics or ways of evaluating ability can Casper be ahead of them at this point in time?

Casper would be the fourth best looking no.1 of all time after Safin, Rafter, Moya.

Has anyone else noticed that Moya doesn’t seem to age?

Yes! Scary. I’m happy about it though.

Yeah, still looks good, especially compared with some of his peers. Have you seen Corretja lately? Yikes.

Considering Ruud is maybe the better clay player among those, if he keeps consistent results on clay every year with a few good runs elsewhere, I can see him outranking some of those guys consistently. The clay field is tough, though.
I think Ruud gets much more hate than he deserves here, honestly. He’s a fine player, down to earth and solid. Most likely not world #1 material, but that’s not his fault if he makes it.

Zverev is going to go on a tear next season. One of him Sinner or Alcaraz wins AO.
Zverev should have a game built fot grass as well as he has that serve and a good return.
