That's right. Forget about Tsitsipas for the moment, scratch Tiafoe, leave the Medvedev fanfic in the shelf for now (I know you have it), lay off the De Minaur bhang. Even put Shapovalov on hold. As of yet, these guys simply do not have close to the level needed to hang with the top guys when the latter are playing at their best. They will eventually win meaningful stuff, sure, but the day doesn't seem to be all that close. Kyrgios is for all practical purposes a hobby basketball player at this point.
No. If you're itching for that sweet transition that my good man @Meles promised you would get as a bonus when he sold you that encyclopedia set and the bottle of snake oil, then only one guy can save you. And that man is Alexander Zverev Jr. He's the only one who actually possesses the sum of skills and resources that together merge into a game that can hang with the best on tour.
Yes, he has developed a curious and persistent case of stage fright at the majors. But a mental block can be overcome, sometimes quickly once you manage to chip away at whatever maladaptive believes are holding it in place. A shortage of talent, however, or a deficit in the game's basic building blocks, is a much harder debility to overcome. Zverev has the game. He has that boundless and unyielding need for success which characterizes any great champion. So far, he has managed to translate that game into several masters crowns, and then a tour final trophy. With field marshal Lendl in his corner planning the next line of attack, it is only a matter of time before he translates this success into the majors.
So if you're waiting for the transition, it might be wise to come around to accepting the credo of #ABZ
