I find it strange that all the players on your list are current stars. Dont you think new young guns like Grigor Dimitrov and Yuki Bhambri are gonna become stars. Also, do you think Federer is still going to be playing in 2015?

lol what? He is posting the CURRENT top 25...he wants you to then compare that to where they will be in 5 years...

No, not strange at all. The focus isn't on the top-25 in five years, but where the current top-25 will be at then. So it could look like this:

1 Federer, Roger (SUI) Retired
2 Djokovic, Novak (SRB) Top-5
3 Murray, Andy (GBR) Top-5
4 Nadal, Rafael (ESP) Retired
etc...

[illkhiboy]

Good topic!!

For reference, I want to see how the top 25 of Jan 2005 are doing.

1) Federer --1
2) Roddick --top 10
3) Hewitt -- top 20
4) Safin -- retired
5) Moya -- semi-retired (506)
6) Coria -- retired
7) Henman -- retired
8) Agassi -- retired
9) Nalbandian -- 140
10) Gaudio -- retired

Wow half the top ten are retired. With Agassi and Henman, it was almost a guarantee that they would be. I don't think anyone would have predicted Coria and Gaudio to have retired. Only six months prior, they had played a Slam final. Plus they were young.

11) Johannson - 356 (virtually retired)
12) Canas -- 233 (almost retired?)
13) Robredo -- 15! (kudos!)
14) Grosjean -- 500+ (almost retired)
15) Youzhny -- 20!
16) Haas -- 17!
17) Pavel -- Retired
18) Massu -- 99
19) Spadea -- almost retired
20) Hrbaty -- 161
21) Kiefer -- 111
22) Ljubicic - 24!
23) Gonzalez -- 12
24) F Lopez -- 33
25) Novak -- Retired

11 of the 25 are retired, with a couple predominantly relevant in challengers alone.

[goran_ace]

5 years is a lifetime on the tour (which is what makes it even more impressive that guys like Fed and Sampras could be ranked #1 for so many weeks).

 

[CMM]

1 Federer, Roger (SUI) - 1
2 Djokovic, Novak (SRB) - ~10
3 Murray, Andy (GBR) - ~5
4 Nadal, Rafael (ESP) - retired or dead
5 Del Potro, Juan Martin (ARG) - below 25
6 Davydenko, Nikolay (RUS) - retired
7 Roddick, Andy (USA) - retired
8 Soderling, Robin (SWE) - below top 25
9 Tsonga, Jo-Wilfried (FRA) - retired
10 Cilic, Marin (CRO) - top 20

25 Isner, John (USA) top 10

I hope that the organizers from RG and US Open learned something from the past incidents and were able to resolve the security problems. :?

 

[big bang]

LOL what I think is funny is that a lot of you guys think Isner is a future top 10 player, but ok you are probably just trying to keep the American dream alive

 

[dropshot winner]

After Federer retires in 2014 with 30 slams and 600 weeks at the top the #1 ranking will be retired.

The 8 best of 2015:

2 Murray
3 Cilic
4 Djokovic
5 Bhambri
6 Del Potro
7 Tomic (will be most hated top-player of all time)
8 Isner
9 Nadal
