"Better than Zverev? No doubt": Rusedski settles the debate on the greatest player without a Grand Slam
This is a debate that keeps coming back and spans all generations of tennis fans and players: who is, since the beginning of the Open era, the best player never to have won a Grand Slam?
"Better than Zverev? No doubt about it"
A question to which former player Greg Rusedski recently answered for the media CLAY:
"Marcelo Rios is the best player in the history of this sport never to have won a Grand Slam. He was world No. 1. Better than Zverev? Yes, I have no doubt about that.
Unfortunately, Marcelo was not able to have a long enough career that would have allowed him to win a Grand Slam. That's the only thing that mars his record."
"He would have won several Grand Slams"
Rusedski, very admiring of the former Chilean player, continued:
"The talent he had was incredible. There is no player who has such hands, he had everything (in his game). He was a tremendous champion. (Without the injuries), he would have won several Grand Slams.
You can imagine him winning at Roland-Garros, he reached the final of the Australian Open and at the US Open, on the hard courts of New York, there's no reason not to see him triumph. Wimbledon would have been difficult for him, but the other three Grand Slams, no problem winning them."
