That add's hilarious, cause it doesn't describe Tomic at all, Nike picked the wrong guy for it.

Hopefully Nishikori. Most interesting player of the bunch and nice game to watch. Don't get the Goffin interest - he's dull and apart from a couple of good runs hasn't shown a whole lot of consistency. He's not really that young. 22... Kei to me seems the most stable, works hard and is mentally pretty good most of the time.

Dimitrov looks like he should do well when you watch him in isolation but clearly there's something stopping him. Saw him trouble Nadal in 2009 Rotterdam - more than 3 years ago - and thought he'd break through. Thought the same after Wimbledon last year, that maybe that was the moment. Yet he never seems to capitalise and build on these 'moments'. Maybe he needs a new coach. Who knows. But my faith is waning.

Come on Kei!! Hold the fort before Quinzi comes along. :p

So far Nishikori and Raonic are the only ones I can actually see winning slams. Raonic will no doubt keep improving so I have no real big doubt about him achieving 'big' things but with Nishikori it's definitely a case of trying to stay uninjured which is my biggest concern. :(

Looking at the list Murray and Djokovic may win a lot of GS titles in next 5 years.

Over next 5 years possibly only see 1/2 GS titles won by that list and not sure who; best guess Dimitrov and Tomic.

1. Goffin- he's mentally tough, he has a strong and clever game. He has a nice attitude and looks ready to improve.
2. Nishikori- fast, aggressive yet defensive style, is a fighter. But struggles to make a breakthrough. Will have to work on technique.
3. Raonic- Has big serve and composure. But these days you need fitness + variety also.
4. Dimitrov- is brimming with talent but his game is not very efficient.
5. Kuznetsov- haven't seen much of him, but he has bigger weapons than Harrison, Tomic
6. Paire- He is talented but is a clown.
7. Tomic- Talented, but lacks passion
8. He works hard, but other than that, is a pusher with a bad temper.

I think only Goffin, Nishikori will win slams.

Despite his current mental mess, I would rather bet on Tomic : I feel he has more potential (including mental one) and he's also younger than the others.

Then Raonic.

Dimitrov is my favorite one and has the most complete technique but seems to lacks too much in the footwork, return, physique and mental.

98-03 was considered a weak era too but that was a lot of fun to watch imo,so if we have to suffer with tomic at number 1 and only winning probley a slam every 2 years im all for it :worship:
