The zverev agenda is genuinely grasping at straws right now and it’s hilarious
So now that Zverev has won his slam I’ve seen on twitter the hate comments are now comparing Zverev to Gaudio which I just can’t help but think is insane. The sentiment they seem to go with is that Zverev and Gaudio are the worst slam winners of all time, now Gaudio is definitely true but Zverev? Absolutely not. Now not to hate because I understand that these two are great players but we seem to forget about Del Potro and Cilic. What did they really do?? Delpo won a million 250s a couple 500s and a masters 1000 as well as the US Open outside of that there’s an Olympic silver, personally I think the Delpo hype is larp because he was just kinda there he would get his occasional big 3 win then lose to a random guy the following round he was really starting to hit his stride post us open but his wrist said no more. Delpo isn’t bad by any means but his career was definitely subpar for a slam winner. Cilic was also decent but way less efficient his tennis looked like 2025 Zverev it was hard to watch honestly he is kinda like Zverev but his best thing is his footwork rather than his backhand. He honestly had better results than Delpo but still for a slam winner that’s a subpar career. It’s like watching the gimmicky 250 demons suddenly win a slam and all of a sudden they are top 5 level for a year or 2 then they fall off hard. Delpo definitely deserves his flowers he played with long hair Rafa, adidas/sergio tacchini Nole, and Prime Fed. Yes Cilic had neo fed, GOATkovic, and 2 hair transplants later Rafa but honestly neo fed was the same as prime fed he just learned how to punish spin with no weight. All im saying is that people can’t say Zverev is one of the worst slam winners when Delpo, Cilic, Gaudio, and I hate to say it but Thiem are right there (thiem wouldn’t be anywhere near this convo if his wrist held up same for Delpo too)
