Until the previous Roland Garros, Alexander Zverev was considered the most talented tennis player who had never won a Grand Slam. However, 'Sascha' won his first major in Paris, removing that label, and John Isner and Steve Johnson have chosen Casper Ruud to take over from the German player. 

Ruud is one of the most competitive players on the ATP circuit, and on the 'Nothing Major' show, he was chosen as the current player who, by talent and level, should have already won. "Among current players, it's not so clear, but I would say it's Casper Ruud. He has three Grand Slam finals and a Masters 1000 title, although in those three finals he played, he was the clear loser against Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, and Carlos Alcaraz," Johnson stated.

Fritz and Tsitsipas, other possible names

Isner agreed with his compatriot, stating, "if we talk about it right now, Casper is not one of the top five players, and he's not playing at that level, but if we analyze his whole career, he has three finals. Obviously, losing to Rafa, Novak, and Carlos is nothing to be ashamed of. So I agree that it's Casper." Although he has now moved away from those big results, it must be remembered that in the 2022 US Open final against Carlos Alcaraz, he was even one win away from being world number 1, so he deserves the credit.

On the other hand, Sam Querrey also threw two different names into the conversation. "I might have said Stefanos Tsitsipas, or even Taylor Fritz is in the conversation," he concluded. Now that Zverev has his long-awaited Grand Slam, it's difficult to stick with just one, but it's worth noting that neither Fritz nor Tsitsipas came close to being number 1 as Ruud did. Therefore, he deserves the credit he merits.
