Yeah Nalbandian was an absolutely world beater on his day. I remember how he was Roger's main nemesis from 2003-2005 before the emergence of Rafa, Novak and Andy.

Apart from that Wimbledon final though, he was always a bit underwhelming in the slams. I'm not a Zverev fan at all, but his resume is probably a bit superior

Based on this assessment, of the all time top 128 players (men and women) it is Ferrer and then Tom Okker who are in the list but have never won a slam. Zverev isnt in the list as his career is yet to young to gain the place based on the algorithm, I would guess.
