Which young gun?

Raonic, Dolgopolov and Tomic all have great games that will get them far. I'm tired of having a favorite player who just dominates everything in the sport. It gets boring. Which player do you think will be the best out of the emerging talents?

From what I have seen Tomic has better technique and more weapons than Dolgo. But Tomic is not a great mover and he is just flat out lazy at times not setting up, moving, or taking the "little" steps to properly set up for shots.

Dolgo has great movement, good court sense, and can hit a pretty decent server\ and forehand but his game is very funky. I fear that once he faces opponents enough that they will figure out his game and will be able to deal with him better. If Dolgo can develop his backhand a little more than he will be a very dangerous opponent for years to come.

Its very hard for me to choose right now because so much depends on how they choose to develop themselves as a player.

I guess I will go with Tomic. If he trains harder and shores up some of the movement and laziness issues then his game is prime for success. I just hope he can distance himself from his family and not be an ahole.

I honestly dont find tomic's game that appealing. His strokes are nice, but something about him seems generic and boring.

Dolgo is probably gonna be one the best young guys thats come on in a long time.

Raonic has got a great game and a great work ethic, I expect big things from him also

lol, generic and boring? The guy plays every kind of forehand you ever heard of, often in the one rally?

Needs to fix his head though. That attempted dropshot at 0 -1 4 - 0 was a brain explosion of the highest order.

As I type, dog boy is entering the 5th set with Soderling. IMpressive. Sadly, i'm at work and I can't watch it, but I can only assume the lad is playing well indeed.

Dmitirov? Nah, sorry kids, mmbb ^_^

Raonic looks like a bit of fun, though!
