Five things to watch out for in ATP tennis this year

#5 Who will be the new kid on the Grand Slam podium?

For the last 15 years, it has been all about Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic when it comes to grand slam titles.

Only Murray, Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro have been able to come through to win a major title apart from the foremost trio but they all belong to the same generation when you look at their ages.

No new player has stood out from the new generation but with so many young talents in coming up, the tennis world will be watching keenly to see if this will be the season which witnesses the emergence of a new star.

There are many players who can win a Grand Slam this year, some of whom have been knocking on the doors by reaching the semi-finals and quarter-finals regularly.

Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov has already reached semi-finals twice and is the front-runner among the youngsters to achieve the feat.

Dominic Thiem, the 23-year-old Austrian is not far behind either as he has reached the semi-finals at the French Open once.

German sensation Alexander Zverev is another contender who could win a major this year. The tennis world will be waiting to see whether one among them or any other young player could win a major title this season.
