El Dude,
Jannik has showed this year, he has 'ice running though those veins' such composure for a 23 yo also his defense has improved, this year, along with his serve he showed that in many of his matches at Shanghai this week, the fast courts suit his flat linear shots.He played a great composed match in the final!

One of the things that is so impressive is his consistency - he really hasn't had a bad tournament (as I said, he's reached the QF or better at every tournament played this year, which has only been done a half dozen times or so). Every player has bad matches and spells, but he seems to not dip too low. He had that period this year where he was struggling with an injury, but never really dropped too much.

Here's a name to stash away and keep an ear out for: Justin Engel from Germany. He just turned 17 years old a week ago (born Oct 2007!) and won his first main tour match in the first round of Almaty. You can see highlights here:

I read about his win via social media, he has a good maturity for a 17 yo and has a good all court game thanks for posting the video and a player to keep an eye on in the future.
