Who Will the Top Three be in Upcoming Years?

[Blitzball]

In 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017...

Who do you think will be ranked 1,2, & 3?

Here are my guesses:

2014
1. Djokovic
2. Nadal
3. Murray

2015
1. Djokovic
2. Nadal
3. Ferrer

2016
1. Djokovic
2. Del Potro
3. Murray

2017
1. Del Potro
2. Nadal
3. Murray

Sorry in advance if there's a thread exactly like this. I really can't make a decent guess on who will be in the top three after 2017. For all I know, it could be Dmitrov, Del Potro, and Janowicz, simply because they're a few years younger than the current dominant big guys, and they've been on the rise (lately and over the past few years). Not to mention Raonic, Tomic, Nishikori, etc.. It'll be interesting to witness the longevity of Djokovic, Nadal, and Murray's game in comparison to a still rather thriving Federer. Despite being over 30, he has sustained not an exceptional, but better-than-expected level of play. I don't think the other guys will age quite as gracefully as he has.

In these years if Federer is still playing 2014 onwards he'll be inside the top ten even as he's aging he's still better (on his day) than most. Nadal will be a threat at the French, winning more masters ect, this knee issue will not get better. Murray and Djokovic will head the field for the time being till 2016/2017

2014:
Djokovic I think the number 1 spot will be traded between them
Murray
Nadal

2015:
Djokovic
Murray
Del Potro

2016:
Djokovic
New Blood
Murray

2017:
New Blood
New Blood
Murray or Djokovic

Sampras (He makes a surprising return)
Federer
Hewitt

2016

Jack Sock
Fognini

hard to say but andy is your next #1.

 

[papertank]

2014:

1. Nadal
2. Djokovic
3. Murray

2015:

1. Murray

3. Nadal

2016:

1. Djokovic
2. Murray
3. Nadal

2017:

1. Murray
2. Del Potro
3. Djokovic

I think clay will keep Nadal in the top 3 until 2016 when he retires.

Agreed. It definitely won't feature Tomic, Raonic, Dolgoplov, Dmitrov, Nishikori, Harrison etc. There will be new blood we haven't even heard of yet.

 

[90's Clay]

Probably a bunch of clowns starting next year or 2015. Nadal will drop out of the race by next year as will Federer. So from there we got Nole/Murray/Crap No Weapon Ferrer trading places. Oh the joy it will be. Pushfests galore

Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Nole drops out of the top 3 next year for a short time. His level continues to drop (not hugely) but its been dropping ever since 2011

Janowicz by 2015.

Maybe one that you haven't heard of yet, don't speak for the rest of us. I've heard of every notable talent (and seen many of them play) from 1996-born and older. And I doubt a teen or 20 year old will be top 3 anytime soon with the direction the game is going.

Quinzi, Krygios and Kyle Edmund

Agreed. There are some promising players, but there haven't been any incredible break-out performances yet that would predict future top three potential.

I wish they were Brett Connors, Robin Borg and Kevin Mc Enroe...
