Today, the top 30 ATP is more difficult to crack than the four major eras. Alexander Zverev.
World No. 2 Zverev with multiple careers Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federertoday’s 30 depths are bigger than when he first entered the top ten in August 2017.
“It’s much harder. The players have a lot more depth,” Zverev said after falling to World 21 Francisco Cerundolo Madrid today is 7-5, 6-3. “Before, I remember when I entered the top ten was in 2017, and that was eight years ago.
“Yes, the top 10 is very strong, we have Novak, Rafa, Roger, Andy, Stan, you know, Del Potro and all of these guys, but I would say that from 10 to 20 to 20 to 20 to 30 is much lower than it is now.”
Australian Open finalist Zverev said the highest depth is now even harder when Djokovic, Nadal and Federer were iconic champions.
“Yes, the top is incredible, but now there is much more depth.”
