  • Best Players on Tour Without a Grand Slam

    Besides Novak Djokovic winning the Australian Open in 2008, it seems the Slams in the past few years have belonged almost completely to Roger Federer and, more and more, Rafael Nadal—but not much besides those two.

Here’s my list of the best six players today without a Slam title and their future chances of winning one.
