2019 brought us first time titlists in:

Tennys Sandgren (USA)
Alex de Minaur (AUS)
Juan Ignacio Londero (ARG)
Reilly Opelka (USA)

Lorenzo Sonego (ITA)
Taylor Fritz (USA)
Nicolas Jarry (CHI)
Dusan Lajovic (SRB)
Hubert Hurkacz (POL)

So, 2020 is pretty much here. Whom are your five biggest prospects to break through and grab a first title?

Top 100 players whom haven't won a title include: Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) #21, Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) #35, Filip Krajinovic (SRB) #40, Daniel Evans (GBR) #42, John Millman (AUS) #48, Cameron Norrie (GBR) #53, Casper Ruud (NOR) #54, Alexander Bublik (KAZ) #56, Ugo Humbert (FRA) #57, Aljaz Bedene (SLO) #58, Miomir Kecmanovic (SRB #59, Jordan Thompson (AUS) #63, Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) #65, Ricardas Berankis (LTU) #66, Mikael Ymer (SWE) #74, Hugo Dellien (BOL) #75, Jannik Sinner (ITA) #78, Yasutaka Uchiyama (JPN) #81, Gregoire Barrere (FRA) #82, Corentin Moutet (FRA) #83, Stefano Travaglia (ITA) #84, Jaume Munar (ESP) #86, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP) #87, Soonwoo Kwon (KOR) #88, Thiago Monteiro (BRA) #89, Tommy Paul (USA) #90, Dominik Köpfer (GER) #94, Salvatore Caruso (ITA) #96, Alexei Popyrin (AUS) #97, Egor Gerasimov (BLR) #98, Lloyd Harris (RSA) #99, James Duckworth (AUS) #100.

I do think FAA will break through this season. I'd also say I'm pretty confident Krajinovic and Evans will be first time titlists this year. Sinner is the real deal and will likely win a couple imo, even if low level 250s. I guess I'd make Struff my last pick to finally pick up a first title. Sorry no poll, but a question like this is too unwieldy for a poll.
