Bolded ones, in my opinion, will win at least one slam. Tsitsipas maybe even soon.​

I'm from Denmark but agree with you that Rune will never win a slam. He is a talent for sure but an embarrissing spoiled nut case who can not control he's emotions and behavior when thing goes against him. 7 matches in a row best of 5 sets, I can't see it happen.

Fair enough.

How about Clara Tauson, then? :)

Ons Jabeur, Stefanos Tsitsipas

Mostly good list but I disagree with these two, In fact I think these two might both even win a slam this year. Ons is always a threat at Wimbledon and Stef has looked very good on clay this year and with all the injuries and poor form of other players, could maybe rock RG.

My list (I assume we're not counting doubles):
Alex De Minaur, Grigor Dimitrov, Cameron Norrie, Jiri Lehecka, Ugo Humbert, Maria Sakkari, Caroline Garcia, Laura Robson.

Typical TW.

Rublev wins a Masters against a completely depleted field (facing FAA in the final whos choked in 90% of his finals) and now suddenly he will win a slam.

I watched Ons highlights with Kenin and she was GOATing, pulling winner left, right and center from impossible positions. I think she will get one.

That's not my opinion based on the latest Masters 1000 win.

In the last 7 Grand Slams, Andrey Rublev reached QF 6 out of 7 times, losing to Marin Cilic (RG 22), Frances Tiafoe (USO 22), Novak Djokovic (AO 23), Novak Djokovic (W 23), Daniil Medvedev (USO 23) and Jannik Sinner (AO 24). Last year, he's won ATP Monte Carlo beating Holger Rune and lost in ATP Paris final against Hubert Hurkacz. He's one of the most consistent players on tour. Only thing that makes him unable to enter to final stages (that being SF and F) of Grand Slam are his nerves. He has to work on his mental strength.

Yes, I see him winning one Grand Slam untill the end of his career. Djokovic is on his last hurrah, Nadal is semi retired, his main rivals will be Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev. He is in best years, he'll turn 27 in October this year and I see him winning a Grand Slam title in the next 5 years.​

No its not ''just his nerves''.

He's one of the most one-dimensional players on tour, no transition/net game, no S&V ability, just bash from the baseline and if that isnt working he smashes things (including himself), yells at people and loses. He also has a very weak and attackable second serve. This is why he maxes out at the QF level every slam.

I could see him making a few SFs of slams in the future but he is like Ferrer, he fights hard but he just needs more options and more game. Guys like Alcaraz, Med, Sinner etc will almost always rip him apart deep in slams.

You didn’t list zverev so you know what that means

Of the ATP players currently ranked in the top-20, I'd say:
Felix, Khach, de Minaur, Ruud, Bublik, Baez

My list is probably smaller than most, mainly because I worry about how injury-prone guys like Sinner and Alcaraz might end up being. And Djoker eventually has to tail off. So I think that there will be opportunities for guys like Tsitsipas, and even Zverev in the near future.

I cannot see writing off a guy like Rune. He's barely 21 years old and has already made a 3 QFs. Where was Federer at this age? Through his age-21 season, Federer had 2 career QFs in slams, which includes 0 during his age-21 season in 2002(includes a Wimbledon 1st round exit in straights by a qualifier).
 
I'm from Denmark but agree with you that Rune will never win a slam. He is a talent for sure but an embarrissing spoiled nut case who can not control he's emotions and behavior when thing goes against him. 7 matches in a row best of 5 sets, I can't see it happen.
Rune may be a late developer, say around 7-10 years from now when he grows up. Right now he acts like a 12 year old.
