Which Star Will Be Ranked #1 In Pro Tennis After The Finish Of This Season?

By Nick Lawrence

Due to the Aussie Open marking the beginning of the just starting '10 tennis season, the sport we love is officially back again. There are numerous athletes making up a pro tour that is currently far more stacked with talent than it has found itself in many years.

No longer are the days of Roger Federer and Rafa ruling every tournament. There are a number of other athletes on the men's side of things who possess respectable prospects any time a match commences.

Although Roger and Rafael Nadal occupy the best two spots in the world, there are a couple of men that may finish up the season ranked at the top. Why don't we get a glimpse at the most probable heirs to the throne now.

Naturally, there is Roger Federer. He should at all times be considered the most likely to end at the top of the ranks, seeing that he's finished at number one just about each month throughout the duration of the last ten years. Nevertheless, his age of twenty nine reveals that he is getting old.

If Rafa Nadal is going to stay free of injuries, there is no valid reason to believe that he can't wind up there. In reality, numerous fans think that he might have ranked there last season had he not been forced to skip Wimbledon on account of his knee condition.

Also in the mix is the burgeoning 20 year old Juan Martin Del Potro, whose incredible victory at Flushing Meadows shocked many tennis addicts. To active ones, the young player's win was not such a shock. The kid is very talented and has the potential to capture the tour's number one ranking this year.

Finishing things off are two extra possible tennis players. Let's take a glimpse at both of them.

Novak Djokovic is among these players who everyone believed might be number 1 eventually, however he hasn't quite gotten there as yet. He's a bit more polished at his age of 23, and might at long last enjoy both the tools and psychological toughness to get there.

Lastly, there is Andy Murray. At the young age of 22, the British talent is on the rise and peaked as high as #2 a year ago. With some clutch victories this year, he could end up being 2010's surprise finisher. - 31983
