Given their success on outdoor hard courts in the last year, NextGen poses a new challenge for the Djokoray comeback (not the old familiar pigeons.

The Murray matchups through Tiafoe (34th in race):
Murray v Zverev - Murray owns Zverev and one can see why with his great first returning
Murray v Kyrgios - ibid
Murray v Thiem - Murray has never straight set Thiem due to Thiem hitting through Murray
Murray v Coric - (2-2) won't be easy as Coric much better player this year
Murray v Edmund - Edmund just won in Eastbourne
Murray v Chung - never played, but potential Djokovic lite dynamic
Murray v Khachanov - (1-0) straight sets RG 2017
Murray v Tsitsipas - never played, but good chance Tsitsipas may be able to hit through Murray
Murray v Shapovalov - ibid, power to the Shapo backhand works and to lesser extent with Tsitsipas
Murray v Tiafoe - another hard call as you expose Tiafoe by hitting deep and hard to him
Murray v Pouille - (4-0)
Djokovic scenario:
Djokovic v Zverev - Zverev has been able to baseline dominate Djokovic off the return and serve
Djokovic v Kyrgios - lost to Kyrgios twice in 2017
Djokovic v Thiem - Thiem improved since their 2016 Miami encounter, so may be issue on outdoor hard
Djokovic v Coric - (2-0) including Monte Carlo win this year
Djokovic v Edmund - lost on clay this year and Edmund took set at Wimbledon
Djokovic v Chung - Chung has been injured more than Nole, so despite Auz Open loss, adv. Djoko
Djokovic v Khachanov - never played
Djokovic v Tsitsipas - never played, but Nole's depth should be issue for Tsitsipas
Djokovic v Shapovalov - ibid
Djokovic v Tiafoe - should be able to frustrate Frances and neutralize his shot making
Djokovic v Pouille - never played
Looks like Djokovic will not be troubled that much by NextGen, but if Kyrgios and Zverev start showing up deep in events there will be some showdowns.
Murray's path is much more problematic, but in contrast to Djokovic he pretty much owns Kyrgios and Zverev.
