Oops, you are right. Novak had won only five titles going into 2007 Montreal, just like Sasha has five titles going into 2017 Montreal. Also, upon reading carefully once again, this may be what Rafanoy was referring to. So, I am the one who must apologize in this case.

Hey, no worries. It's hard to keep track of this stuff. But more importantly, to @rafanoy1992's point, He tracks not badly on Djokovic's 2006-2007, when Djokovic would have been the same age as Sasha is now, I think. (Right? Djokovic would have been 19-20, and AZ just turned 20 in April.) There is no proving that Zverev is the "next big thing," but he gives more indications than anyone since, well, Djokovic, probably or Murray. And the guy credited with putting all the muscle on Murray way back is the guy working with Zverev now.
