The 2010 tennis season looks like being a great one, if the recent Australian Open was anything to go by. Although classed as once of the more senior players on the tour, Roger Federer fired out a warning to all those waiting to take his crown by easily taking the title with style and grace.
Don't assume, however, at this early stage, it's going to be the same winners at all the Majors. There are a few good players just waiting to seize the moment and lift a few big titles themselves. Here are a few who showed great promise last year, and this could well be their time to shine.
There are a few players to keep an eye out for this year, as 2010 could well be the year that they achieve their potential.
On the women's tour there is the young American Melanie Oudin, she as the surprise package at the 2009 US Open by beating some very big names to reach the semi final stage.
Still a teenager, there is still plenty of time for Oudin's all round game to grow and mature, A fact her competitors will be well aware of and hoping they aren't drawn against her.
He has started the year brilliantly, and currently has a 15-1 record, he'll be hoping to capitalize on this and go on to cause some major upset in the coming year.
Our next player to watch is a 28 year old who has been around quite a while but is literally in the form of his career. Nikolay Davydenko has had a career that has been overshadowed by allegations of gambling scandals.
He is fast becoming Federer's nemesis, having beaten the Swiss master twice in their last three meetings. As the unfounded gambling rumours have now gone, it seems that he is now free to just concentrate on what he does best. - 31983
