Next generation of tennis stars...

Just interested on some opinions on who is likely to have the brightest future of the likes of Tomic, Dimitrov, Raonic, Goffin, Nishikori, Janowicz & Harrison etc. Also any ideas on any decent british juniors coming through from the men's side that have real potential to be a top player in the future?

Im taking a guess at no one coming through in the next 10 year's in men's tennis. No one has apart from henman in the past 30 years, what's changed? Plus as long as Djokovic and Murray are around no one will be winning slams, these guys ate on a different level.

Filip Peliwo and Eugenie Bouchard.

Keep your eyes out for Liam Broady and Kyle Edmunds and further down the age groups Jazzy Plews, we have some great U14s in UK.

Ive hear Broady mentioned a few times, defo one to look out for in the next couple of years?

As for the names you mention above Raonic, Harrison etc!

I dont believe they are showing the same promise as Murray and Djokovic were at the same age. All are/will be great players but none of them will have a complete game to challenge the big 4?

As a past US Boys Singles winner (like Murray) there's also Oliver Golding, currently ranked at 460. He is 19 and 4 months.

At the same age:-
Murray's ranking was 16.
Djokovic's ranking was 21.
Nadal ranking was at 2.
Federer ranking was 31.

A link to what the GB players are ranked.

Lets be honest its not that promising for the future.
