The Australian Open once again got the tennis year off to a great start and whetted out appetite for the forthcoming season. The master they call Roger Federer once again lifted that famous trophy, sending out a warning to all his opponents that he’s still the man to beat.
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 quite a few players waiting in the wings to show us what they are capable of after showing great promise in 2009. The first one is on the women’s tour, the American teenager Melanie Oudin.
With time on her side to improve even further and grow in strength and confidence, you can bet that her competitors are keeping an eye on her.
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.
His career has unfortunately been blighted by gambling scandals, but now that these are behind him, he is fully focusing on his tennis.
Finally these are behind him and he is enjoying his tennis again. Currently ranked no.6, his recent form against Federer in particular has been very impressive. On form both physically and mentally, watch out for some great results from Davydenko in the coming year.
