Querrey on the current level of tennis: "I think I would have had a higher ranking".
In the latest episode of the Nothing Major podcast, Sam Querrey talked about the current level of men's tennis, comparing it to that of his generation, which of course featured the Big 3, but also many other formidable players.
The American considers that he could have achieved a higher ranking if he had been part of the current generation of players:
"I feel I would have been ranked higher than 11th in the world. I might have reached the Top 10 and had more success.
I'm not saying these guys aren't good, but about twelve years ago, the players back then were a bit stronger, whether at the top or bottom of the rankings.
From 1st to 50th in the world, the level was stronger in 2015 than in 2025."
For his part, Steve Johnson, present in this podcast, added:
"I really think that behind the Top 3 back then, players like Ferrer, Berdych or Wawrinka were really better than the current players who are between 5th and 15th in the world."
