There is often a debate in tennis circles about who is the best player to never win a Grand Slam title. Tennis fans mostly point out that Alexander Zverev is one of the best tennis players who have never lifted the trophy at one of the four biggest tournaments, but not everyone shares that opinion.
During his long career, the young German had brilliant moments and was close to the greatest success. Although he was very close to success on several occasions, he never managed to take the final step and win the Grand Slam. Ups and downs were part of his career, just like every tennis player's career, but fans mostly remember his dominance and some great matches.
Yevgeny Kafelnikov shares his views
Former Grand Slam champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov recently shared his opinion via social media and made it clear that he does not consider Zverev to be the best player without a Grand Slam title. According to the former Russian star, Marcel Rios deserves such an epithet.
"There is no better player in the entire universe without a Grand Slam title than Marcelo Rios!! Period!!!" wrote Kafelnikov on Twitter.
During his career, the Chilean tennis player won 18 ATP titles and was a dominant figure, but, like Zverev, he never managed to win a Grand Slam.
Analysts and fans often debate why the German tennis player has never managed to make such a huge step. There are many interesting theories, but it is clear that the tennis world is full of talented tennis players, and that it is really difficult to get a Grand Slam title in a fierce competition.
Rios was a really interesting figure and a tennis player who was dominant during an era of tennis. However, it seemed as if he lacked concentration when he played Grand Slams, but regardless, his career was just as successful and great without it, and the fact that legends like Kafelnikov remember him best speaks of that.
Words like this will surely mean something to him.
