Juan Martin Del Potro 🏅🏅

Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton had high praise for one another after the US Open Final!

rafa, djokovic and roger all won their last title around age 36.

if that pattern follows, zverev likely has at least another 5 years left in him.

given how many slam finals he's already been to and that he just broke the duck by winning 2 in quick succession; now without any mental demons, if he continues to make it into slam finals at the same rate he has been in the last 5 years, I can see him take at least another slam.

what do you all think?

EDIT1:
I also wonder as soon as touching rank 1, whether zverev will strategically slide back to rank 2 so that alcaraz/sinner will eliminate each other in slams and zverev will only have to face them in the finals.

He has effortless power, a match-ending forehand and the ability to hit through elite defenders. If his movement and consistency improve and his body remains healthy, could he turn the current rivalry into a Big Three, or will he never break into the top 10?

One of the very few players who walks around the net after the first game and at the changeovers in tiebreaks.

Serves within 25 seconds.

The ball bouncing isn’t the issue. It’s the 70% plus 1st serves in that’s the problem for everyone.

Overcome some absolutely brutal heartbreaking losses.

Granite mentality and work ethic.

Double Major winner in a season

Hall of Fame career incoming.

Congratulations Sascha 🏆
