I started thinking about this after Madison Keys just surprised the tennis world by winning the Australian Open 2025 after defeating Elena Rybakina (darn), Iga Swiatek (including a match point against), and Aryna Sabalenka (smash goes the racket). As of now, Rybakina is ranked #5, Swiatek #2, and Sabalenka #1. That is massively impressive.
So what I started thinking about was the best players in tennis never to win a Grand Slam tournament. So without much discussion (and that would take a long time), here's my list of the men and women.
Top men tennis players never to win a major (my list):
Current:
Alexander Zverev
Stefanos Tsitsipas
Francis Tiafoe
Past:
Tomas Berdych
Tom Okker
Miloslav Mecir
Vitas Gerulaitis

Top women tennis players never to win a major (my list):
