Former British No. 1 Tim Henman has made a bold prediction for the 2024 US Open, backing Alexander Zverev to claim his first Grand Slam title.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zverev’s Recent Form and Near-Misses Make Him a Contender<\/h2>\n

Despite the dominance of Novak Djokovic<\/a>, Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>, Henman believes Zverev’s consistent level of play and recent near-misses make him a strong contender for the championship.<\/p>\n

Zverev, a two-time Grand Slam<\/a> runner-up, has been knocking on the door of a major title for several years. His impressive performances in recent tournaments, including a strong showing at the French Open, have solidified his status as one of the best players in the world without a Grand Slam win.<\/p>\n

Henman, who has witnessed Zverev’s progress firsthand, believes that the German’s time to shine has finally arrived. “I just think Zverev is under the radar,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I think Zverev’s level of play is underrated. When he is playing averagely, that keeps him in the top 10. I just feel that he has been knocking on the door for so long, that door is going to open.”<\/p>\n
