Predict the ATP top 20 on this date in 2020

[Vicious Vik]

This is pure conjecture but let's have fun with it.


1. Nick Kyrgios
2. Kei Nishikori
3. Milos Raonic
4. Dominic Thiem
5. Borna Coric
6. Andrey Rublev
7. Jack Sock
8. Novak Djokovic
9. Bernard Tomic
10. Grigor Dimitrov
11. Andy Murray
12. Jared Donaldson
13. Alexander Zverev
14. Thanasi Kokkinakis
15. Martin Kilzan
16. Marin Cilic
17. Francis Tiafoe
18. Hyeon Chung
19. Orlando Luz
20. Nicolas Jarry


what do you guys think of this list? Obviously it's very hard to predict what the tennis landscape will look like 5 years from now. I mixed in old timers who are hanging on along with hot young stars and juniors.

What is my most glaring mistake? where am I spot on? What does your top 20 look like in June of 2020?

Across every dimension in the Multi-verse, I can't imagine even 1 world where Kyrgios becomes #1. Nor Tomic top 10. Kokk and Coric will be some order of 1-2, Oldovic will be the near-retirement #3.

It's difficult to imagine Raonic ever being ranked that high. Also,I agree with the above post,can't see Kyrgios being #1,he seems like he could be more of a Tsonga-level player...

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Can't imagine Nishikori being so competitive at that stage... just a hunch.

I could see Oldovic still being highly ranked depending on his motivation.

Tomic won't be top-20 by then perhaps because he'll be burned out by the tour.

Thiem at #4 seems ambitious, though it's possible he could reach at ranking at some point in his career.. but probably not sustain it.

taylor fritz at #1

so you think Tomic will just be gone from the tour?

7/20 not bad at all plus

Dimitrov currently #24 with a lot of room to build
Tiafoe is #30 with expected progress
Klizan is #38
Jarry is #40
Chun #50 but could rebound
Kyrgios is #67 but who the hell knows
Rublev at #100 just collapsed but can only go up ya?
Sock at #106 in a funk, could come back

So only 5 absolute duds, all things considered.
