Mensik and Prizmic have potential. The rest will be journeymen.

I thought Shang would’ve been consistently better this year already. Lot’s of power in todays game and maybe his slight frame is one of the reasons why it’s taking a little longer to develop his game.

Prizmic looks like the modern prototype, both physically and game wise. Shot making and athleticism reminded of a certain balkan player who has one a few slams in his day.

Lajal has a really entertaining style of play, a tad older than 2 and 3. Popped out to the challenger scene last year, will be interesting to see if he can crank it up a notch.

Mensik looked good in the US open, big game but as a bigger guy he’ll have to figure out the physical side for opposite reasons than Shang. Game looked good though.

So ridiculously hard to predict anything in tennis these days when it comes to young up and coming guys though. So much of it is purely mental, and not knowing what’s going on behind the scenes makes predicting nearly impossible. If I’d have to bet who will have the best career I’d go Prizmic.
