Alexander Zverev may be in a much better position currently to win Grand Slams but Tim Henman thinks Emma Raducanu will finish with more Majors than the ATP world No. 2.
Raducanu, 22, famously landed her maiden Slam title after making it all the way at the 2021 US Open as a qualifier. However, since then, she has had only one round-of-16 showing at the Major level.
On the other side, Zverev has made three Grand Slam finals in the last five years. But while he has been to multiple Slam finals, he has yet to claim a title on the biggest stage after falling short in the 2020 US Open, 2024 French Open and 2025 Australian Open finals.
In a guessing game hosted by Sky Sports, Henman picked the British WTA star to have more Majors than the German when it’s all said and done. Also, the former six-time Grand Slam semifinalist predicted Raducanu will finish with more Grand Slams than Jack Draper but less than Coco Gauff.

Raducanu finishing with more Slams than Zverev is a realistic scenario
The German, who will be turning 28 next month, is getting close to his thirties and there are not many who have managed to become Slam winners after turning 30. Following a straight-set loss to Jannik Sinner in this year’s Australian Open final, the world No. 2 looked dejected and admitted in front of reporters that he didn’t want to end his career without a Major title.
“I’m doing everything I can, I’m working as hard as I ever did, I think I’m doing all the right things off-court. I think I’m practicing the right things, but I lost in straight sets today. I mean, those are facts. That is a fact. I lost to Jannik in straight sets today,” Zverev said following his Australian Open final defeat.
“I mean, I don’t want to end my career as the best player of all time to never win a Grand Slam, that’s for sure. I’ll keep doing everything I can to lift one of those trophies.”
