Who will be the next Grand Slam winner not named Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner?

lol no idea

Djokovic might still be most likely.

Maybe an American can get over the line at the USO. Fritz and Shelton have had several deep runs at Slams recently.

I like Fonseca's prospects but he's possibly years away. I find it hard to believe Sinner and Alcaraz will win the next 12 or so Slams uninterrupted. Somebody's gotta get a look in... right?
 
Rune will never be that name, I am sure of it. Zverev could but unlikely because Djokovic himself is out there to grab a slam in case both SInner and Alcaraz are injured/in bad form.

So the answer is someone else who is not in the poll, someone younger who is growing up now and is 14-15 years old.

14-15 years old means we need to wait for approx five years at least for someone to be grown up enuff to grab a slam, so you think tiny and sonic will be winning non stop all slams for those five years, i dont think its a likely scenario (twenty slams in a row for tiny/sonic since now)

If Tiny and Sonic are as good as Big 3 the why cant they take all the slams for 5-6 years ?

Even if they dont, what I meant is unknown guys could win but how are we gonna predict that ? We cannot.
 
I guess we first need a few matches of those guys against Sincaraz to see, if some of them has what it takes to challenge them.

Draper on a perfect day maybe could challenge Alcaraz but still, probably not in BO5.
 
I have no idea, so let me do this instead. Longest streaks (6 or more, there's a whole load that made 5) of two guys winning majors in the 100 years of the 4 grand slams, and who broke them.

Do people really think that Shelton can get a slam from the big 2? Is he like the roddick of the Fed era?

Shelton's career is absolutely dwarfed by Roddick's, even on an age-for-age basis. By the time he was Shelton's current age (22 years, 9 months), Roddick had the no. 1 ranking, a U.S. Open title, a Wimbledon final, three Masters titles, and 17 total titles under his belt. Shelton has a no. 9 ranking (career high), no slam titles or finals, two slam semifinals, zero Masters titles, finals, or even semifinals, and a grand total of two titles.
 
I think it will be Mensik.
Very underrated mover and can cover the court very well.
Big serve and forehand.
Young.

But his best chance is hard court.
 
I voted for Draper only because I think he's the most mature of the players who are still on an upward trajectory that could take them to slam-winning levels. But for all I know, it could be Fils, Fonseca, Mensik, or some unlisted player who suddenly makes a Fed-style quantum leap and turns potential into titles.

Djokovic is clearly on the way down. Zverev and now Fritz appear to have peaked at levels that are just below the slam-winning minimum. I don't see the potential in Rune or Shelton, though perhaps the latter could inch his way up to the Zverev-Fritz "losing finalist" level.
 
It's impossible to predict right now. Zverev and Fritz had made deep runs but cannot beat Sinner or alcaraz

I agree with all of that. Zverev, Fritz, Rune, Shelton will IMO never win a slam, although if one of those does I think it will be Shelton or even Rune, not the other two. Ruud will for sure never win a slam. Medvedev I highly doubt winning another, and Tsitsipas winning one is even more unlikely.

So it would probably be Draper or one of the even younger ones.
 
I see Draper and Fritz as equally likely to be the next at the moment, so I went with the lefty advantage and voted for the Brit. Djoko is clearly not able to go 7 best of 5 matches and it’s too bad, for the sake of argument, that another player besides Sinncaraz hasn’t done it at the semi level (Zverev did in AO 25 but it was just a set). I say this bc Djoko’s primary issue is his recovery, body, movemt., etc. and not necessarily Sinncaraz (although he won’t beat Sinner in best of 5 ever again imo). Tommy Paul is knocking on the door as well. Fils is right there too, if/when his shot selection & consistency improve.
