Not upcoming but someone already arrived at the door step, Juan Martin Del Potro. Mark my word he will be number 1 before Murray and Djokovic.

Fellow countryman Dimitrov looks to be rising in the rankings. He has been compared to the greats at a young age, but only time will tell.

So? How would you rate his potential? Any special weapons?
I don't know much about him, all I've heard is a bit of hype from some buddies of mine.
That's Milos Raonic from Canada. He's got a great serve and an excellent ground game. He's only 18 years old.
No reason that he wouldn't be a solid Top 50 player, but it's too early to tell if he's Top 20, Top 10, or even Top 5 material.

Hard to tell now but by year here are the most promising:
1990: Guillaume Rufin, Daniel Evans, Jerzy Janowicz, Milos Raonic,
1991: Grigor Dimitrov, Tsung-Hua Yang, Andrey Kuznetsov, Yong-Kyu Lim,
1992: Bernard Tomic, Ryan Harrison, Fillip Krajinovic, Yuki Bhambri, Javier Marti

There's no active pro that will even be close to the stardom of Serena and Roger. It happens again in then years. It's a cycle really. If Roger retires, people are fed(
) up with the big star winning everything and what the people want, the media will give them. Then there's a few years with a very deep field (which some will call a weak era), and then there's a superstar again, because we are bored with the fact that everyone can win and lose every match.

Del Potro, Cilic. How can 18yo in Challengers be upcoming superstars? Let's talk about guys who haven't won Masters yet but are knocking on the door. Like those 2 I mentioned just now.
Ryan Harrison. Melanie Oudin

About a dozen Joe Blows at TW who think they can smoke a top ranked WTA player in straight sets because they might be the best in their local club. Can't wait to see 'em on the tour.

Listen I really think jo tsonga can really be the guy that turns heads. I can see this guy winning over 6 majors when his career is finally said and done. He has the serve the forehand the athleticism the net game--if he can get a backhand going wow--he will be among the games all time greats.

That's a wild guess,
Dimitrov could be next Gulbis, for all the evidence we have till now.
How do we define a superstar? Not just be successful, exceptionally successful, at least 7 slams and up, some dominating period, at least in couple of surfaces.
