[lazywombat]

Andrey Rublev
Holger Rune
Jannik Sinner
Stefanos Tsitsipas
Alexander Zverev

My picks :
Most Likely : Rune
Least Likely : Rublev

 

[nolefam_2024]

Most likely Sinner
Least likely Rublev

 

[ChrisJR3264]

Most likely Sinner
Least likely Rublev

Most likely: none
Least likely: all.

 

[Mediterranean Might]

Rune most likely, Rublev least.

If Rune finds his Paris 22 form again then he’ll be hard to stop. I think mentally he’s better than the rest. Sinner should be the strongest of this bunch but his serve is too poor right now and he’s mentally fragile

 

[Jonesy]

Most likely: Sinner
Least likely: Rublev

 

[TheNachoMan]

From most to least likely:
Sinner
Rune
Zverev
Rublev
Tsistipas

 

[Vamos Carlos Alcaraz]

Most likely: Sinner
Least likely: Rublev

 

[lazywombat]

Well, I am a bit surpised with everyone picking Sinner. For me both Rune and Zverev are better players overall so maybe i'm not seeing something here.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Most likely?

Least likely?

Tsitsipas is least at this point. He is never going to go deep in Wimbledon and USO. Too many players can stop him in RG now, he let his chance go in 2021... His best chance is the AO but only if he plays his best and faces someone like Rublev or Ruud in the final... Unlikely but not impossible.
Rublev can't even win a QF but who knows... Maybe if he finally wins 1, it'll give him extra confidence... He is more complete and mentally stronger than Tsitsipas so I give him better chances.

Sinner Zverev and Rune peak higher and seem complete (more complete than Medvedev, who can only win on HC). Once Djokovic is gone, they'll have chances to win 1. Alcaraz isn't gonna win everything. Sinner and Zverev both beat him in a Slam, they will do it again. Rune is in poor form now but he'll bounce back next year.

Most likely Sinner

Agreed. It’s the Only possible combination

Andrey Rublev
Holger Rune
Jannik Sinner
Stefanos Tsitsipas
Alexander Zverev

My picks :
Most Likely : Rune
Least Likely : Rublev

Sinner and Rune are both still highly likely. I probably would take Rune over Sinner, but not by much.

Agreed on Rublev for least likely, but that's not saying much. I feel like Tsitsipas is probably done for with the emergence of Alcaraz and Sinner and Rune (and others) only likely to get better in the years to come.

Zverev would be in the middle of the pack. I do feel like he could still snatch one if he can get back into that zone at the right time. The big difference between him and Tsitsipas is that he's not completely useless in the second half of the year so has 4 chances (well, 3 anyway) to snag one as opposed to 2.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner has shown every sign that he is slam material. His game is good enough to win 1 slam easily. He might be our Andy Murray.

What most members have trouble with is one member calling him future goat. I think sinner looks very solid to win a few slams.

Rune has no issues as well but he is just 20 and I have learned hard way young players can underperform. Will underperform.

Medvedev was underrated at rune's age but is now 1 time slam champ. Rune I am not 100% but 90%. Maybe 85%.

Sinner 100%.

Rune most likely, Rublev least.

If Rune finds his Paris 22 form again then he’ll be hard to stop. I think mentally he’s better than the rest. Sinner should be the strongest of this bunch but his serve is too poor right now and he’s mentally fragile

Don't forget his 'chicken legs'.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Least likely is Zverev. A close runner up to not winning one is Tsitsi.
I think Sinner has the most upside to get more sniffs at one.

The rest are about even with their chances.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Who will be bald first, Rune or Medvedev. Rune getting pretty thin at 20, so he's my pick.

No, despite having reached three semifinals at RG, that is the ceiling of the German player there.
At Wimbledon he sucks, his results at the Australian Open have not been what he expected but both there and at the US Open, especially, his hopes of winning a Major title recede.
