And Milos is #2...so what does that tell you?

Milos will return to the top 10 at least. The reason he gained not so much ground until now is he was defending a chunk of points, because last year he played pretty well as well, until the injury caught up with him. After Madrid, he is defending nothing for a while, that is when I expect him to vault back in the top 10, unless he will get injured yet again.

Yeah, I think Milos will end the year in the top ten. Actually, I think there's a good chance that Thiem, Goffin, and maybe Kyrgios will be in the top 10, with Ferrer, Berdych, Tsonga, and Gasquet pushed out. Or maybe Rafa if things go really south.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see Nishikori take home #3, pushing past Roger and Stan.

I think clay season will make or break both Stan and Nishikori. Stan has massive points to defend. Can't see Nishikori outplaying Roger during grass or hard court season. Only clay season imo is where he has the potential to outperform Roger and a lot depends on Nishikori's fitness at all times. His legs are constantly getting injured.

True about Kei. He's a player I cheer for and is someone I could see taking home a Masters title this year. Maybe Madrid, which Novak never plays.

I have a feeling that we've seen the best of Stan, that he's going to falter and start falling, maybe 2016 being his last year in the top 10.

In terms of very young players, I would mention that Stefan Kozlov moved up to #223 after losing in the final of Le Gosier Challenger to now #74 Malek Jaziri. Kozlov (b. 1998) is one of the youngsters outside of the top 100 that I'm tracking.

Also, 20-year old Yoshihito Nishioka is on the cusp of the top 100 at #103.

I do not think Nishioka will be a top player. He has been sitting in the 100-140 range for some time and the fact that he lost to Kozlov in the challenger is quite telling to me.

Yeah, I don't think he will either. Maybe top 50, though?

Top 30-50, I would say very likely. Maybe even 20-30.

What I found troublesome was he was stuck at 19 and not moved much (still better than going backwards):

18y ranked 590
19y ranked 167
20y ranked 148

20.5y ranked 110

Yeah, it is slow going. In my research I've found that the difference between stars and second (top 20) and third tier (top 50) players is that the former rise fast in that 18-21 range, while the latter tend to slow down and stall out a bit. Nishioka definitely seems in that category.

I would love for Thiem to break into the Top 10 before the French Open. He is definitely a dark horse at the slams. My gut tells me he is a future French Open winner in about 2-3 years.

I would love Kyrgios to be ranked between 25 and 32 and Thiem to be ranked between 12 and 16
and Novak to draw them in R32 and R16. Further Novak should draw Rafa in QF, Stan in SF and Fed in F. That would be fun.

Sounds like you want him to be worn out and lose IMO! :p :rolleyes:

Bye bye to Gasquet from the top 10 next week as Monfils kicks him out. Eventhough I don't expect Monfils to win tomorrow he's had his best week in ages. So much potential, so few matches reaching it.

Monfils has to win tomorrow to be back to the top 10.
If he loses, he will be 14.

Doh, sorry I read it as him already having 2860 points. Well hopefully Quasimodo exits the top 10 soon in that case. His stupid game annoys me having never had the brains to NOT play a full match 15 feet behind the baseline.
