not understand why posters don't like zverev he works hard on his tennis and loves the game of tennis also he's gamestyle good to watch, unlike shapo+berrettini who are clowns over-rated players who are only going to win masters titles not majors also fake as hell.
I think Sasha set the bar high for all tennis fans when he appeared on the tour 3-4 years ago. However Sasha's record in the majors has been horrible at best and his early exits losses really cause a lot of fans to doubt that his inner fortitude.

I can understand don't liking zverev for his horrible run in majors, but as for passion for the sport training hard work, game syle ect…. zverev lot better than the other next gen clowns next season we know if zverev the real deal.

Exactly. Here are his results at majors since 2017:

2019:
US Open - R16
Wimbledon - R128
RG - QF
AO - R16

2018:
US Open - R32
Wimbledon - R32
RG - QF
AO - R32

2017:
US Open - R64
Wimbledon - R16
RG - R128
AO - R32

Two QFs in 12 events — this is why I think he’s overrated.

I agree. But his performance is not deteriorating. His average performance in GSs is either improving or staying at the same place, at least during the three years you mentioned. It is not uncommon for players to take one step back before taking two steps forward.

Having said that, I am not a fan of Sasha.

Well Berrettini was unlucky to run into Nadal in beast form at the USO. That match alone with the amazing serving of Nadal probably moved him from around #20 all the way down to #64. Federer and Djokovic were very lucky to avoid Nadal in his full GOAT mode during that tournament. :yesyes::whistle:

you cant' compare bad Nick to others : he reached no MS's final, won no MS, reached no GS's final either...he only won some 500...others are better than him for the moment
Kyrgios did reach a Masters final of Cincinnati 2017, with Dimitrov being the winner and Kyrgios being the runner up.

Nadal was lucky as the guys who owned him for about 5 years went out early. When was the last time Rafa beat Fed or Djoker on hardcourt? Btw Nadal needed Fed beating Djoker to get back no 1 ranking no?

Nadal beaten them both in straights? Where? He has been owned by both for 5 years suddenly he would smash them? Based on what? Like beating Berrettini? Pls share your reasoning

first of all nadal is 3-3 against Djokovic since 2017 not owned at all like you said maybe you need to learn how to count to three?lol, second Djokovic-Federer was both injured at uso so of course nadal would have beaten both in straights sets do you even have brain cells, even if they was not injured nadal god mode level tennis would have still owned them. finally Federer not playing nadal in 2016,2018 and only playing nadal once the other two seasons is not owning anyone with just one good season in 2017 which took Federer 13 years lol, you got play someone more and beat on all surfaces to own them little boy but Federer wins was mostly on fast hard courts until he can get to nadal overall h2h 16-24+ majors 4-10 and beat nadal on clay Federer will never own nadal. you need to be ahead in overall h2h to own someone not behind, nadal beat Djokovic in two us open finals+ beat Federer in straights sets at AO14 then the courts was slow so yes nadal masterpiece game would have beaten them both in straight sets at USO easy.

then was the last Federer beat goat nadal on clay 2009 ten years? way longer than nadal 5 years 2014 A014, even Djokovic has not beaten nadal on clay since 2016 one of nadal worst seasons also theres the fact that nadal own Federer most of careers 2004-14 and Djokovic has owned Federer for 9 years now since 2011. even owning thiem Federer now 5-2 h2h against him if 3 wins in a row, its clear that your a cazy fedhead troll like modfed or whatever hes name is so your going on my list bye now.
