“Novak Djokovic is Still No.1, Rafael Nadal is still Top 10”: Alexander Zverev Says Big 3 Are Not Done Yet

World No.4 Alexander Zverev recently emerged as the champion of the Cincinnati Masters 2021. The German crushed Andrey Rublev in straight sets to lift the title. The final scoreline of the match was 6-2, 6-3.

In the post-match press conference, Alexander Zverev faced an interesting question. He was asked with Andy Murray not in the best of his form lately, if he is now a member of the new ‘Big Four’ which includes the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

“I mean, we have to see,” began Zverev. “The other guys are still there. I mean, Novak is still World No.1. Let’s not forget that. Rafa is still top ten as well. So, they’re still there and I think after the injury, they’re gonna comeback even stronger.”

Zverev pinpointed that even though Djokovic and Nadal didn’t play at the Cincinnati Masters 2021, they are still top-level athletes. He even predicted that both of them are going to make a phenomenal comeback after recovering from their injuries.
