Of the young guns I like best Tomic, Raonic, Dolgopolov and Nishikori. But either, they are hugely powerful like Tomic and Milos but too big and tall and therefore an injury risk and vulnerable in their movement. Or they are like Sasha and Nish, quick and talented but just lacking that highest gear of mega power.

this makes for interesting reading I think..

Kei nishikori will be the first to win a slam if i had to bet on it, he has all the weapons, best defence, most stamina and attitude of the players mentioned as well as a real big heart and unlike most here believe the power too. Tomic will be top 15 by the end of this year and is another who can go far with the right commitment.

kei is good and also quite powerful for his size but I think for the top he is to short and also injury prone (very bad in tennis). you need more of a serve to win slams.

I think dimi and milos have the best chance to someday win a slam.

I like Nishikori especially lately, Dolgo, Roanic but I actually I watch a match between Verdasco and a young Australian player I believe 16 years old and I really thought he was great for his age. Also the guy from Poland who made to the final a month ago or so....I don't remember his mane but he defeated some pretty big manes.

What did you think of Nadal's knees after platelet treatment in 2010? 3 more slams came that year.
And this year, he had platelet treatment just before Monte Carlo, and then didn't drop a set for 2 whole events.
You are in for a rude shock if you think knee tendinitis is going to stop Nadal from an extremely long and successful slam winning career. I think he has an excellent chance of firstly passing BorgFedererSampras' record of 8 straight slam-winning years, and then extending it to over 10 years, maybe 12 straight years.
Whereas Djokovic's back/shoulder problems, at age 24? No platelet treatment for that. Good luck!

This post gave me the funnies, even though he's banned (or reincarnated).

I doubt Tomic will be top 15, I'd say something like top 30 at best. He still has a long way to go, he has to build some consistency before he will get anywhere far (has a good run at the AO, maybe manages the QFs, but then he gets torn apart by Murray or Djokovic, this is with the right draw) and afterwards goes on a losing streak, until he makes up for it at the end of the year, finishing somewhere between 25-32, getting a seeding for the AO in 2014.

Timbo's hopeless slice · 01-08-2013, 03:42 PM

do you mean this year? or career?

he's already been to 27, you know...

heninfan99 · 01-08-2013, 03:44 PM

I like Dolgo, Bradley Klahn and Goffin cause he looks like Jodie Foster and plays like Simon on speed.

I mean this year, I am sure by 2015 he will be a top ten player.

Interesting as it looks so strange? mixed bars and lines

j/k
Tomic is way ahead in early years, but the next few years are all that matters really.

TheCheese · 01-08-2013, 04:09 PM

I think Dimitrov and Raonic have great potential. Tomic as well if he can improve his serve and forehand.

I really don't see Harrison going anywhere, but I'd love to be wrong about that.

Also, really strange graph... Would make more sense to have lines with all of them, going upwards towards #1 rather than downwards.

Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Lou Diamond Philipps and Christian Slater.
