Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas are two of the best players among the current generation. They are the ones who will be carrying the torch after legends like Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal hang up their boots.
The German tennis pro – Zverev, turned pro in 2013 and has gone on to win 19 titles. He achieved his career-high ATP ranking of world No. 2 on 13 June 2022. The 25-year-old is yet to return to action since he suffered a terrible injury during the French Open semifinal clash with Rafael Nadal. Zverev has won 339 matches so far and lost 150.
He won the gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after defeating Karen Khachanov in the final. Zverev became the first German man to win a gold medal in singles and the first to win a medal since Tommy Haas won his silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

However, fans commented below the poll on how both youngsters are not the best clutch players going around.
