There are many unknowns to be resolved in an ATP 2024 season full of players willing to explore their limits and leave their mark. There are several strong candidates to break that important barrier that the top-10 of the ATP ranking entails, and we review which are the main candidates to achieve it for the first time in their careers in this next year.
Nothing can be taken for granted in the world of sport, and even less so in an individual discipline dependent on so many factors like tennis. However, every fan cannot help but make their mental plans of what could happen in the next campaign, and among those ideas is that of seeing new members of the select club that the top-10 of the ranking ATP. The prevailing equality makes it very expensive to break into those privileged positions, but there are several tennis players who are either close to achieving it for the first time, or have shown signs of a potential that seems destined to place them among the best in the world in the short term. term.
Shelton has everything to continue growing; From Miñar and Paul, enough maturity to enter the top-10
To locate the main candidates, you do not have to go very far in the official classification since the Álex de Miñaur y Tommy Paul, located in 12th and 13th place, are doing more than enough to taste the joys of feeling like a top-10 player. The Australian continues to advance little by little, polishing aspects of his tennis and maintaining that competitive character and speed on the court that have always characterized him. In 2023, he had the best year of his sporting career and intends to take advantage of it to step foot in that select club at some point. A good performance in Australia would give him many options.
For his part, the American has many points to defend in Australia, but there will be stretches of the season in which he can continue adding and there is no reason to think that his upward trend will be interrupted, being one of the most complete and dangerous tennis players of the moment. . Paul is not the only American predestined to do something important this campaign, since Ben Shelton He has all the characteristics to be among the best at some point, in case he continues that innate ability to perform in big events. The year of experience accumulated in 2023 can make him a more stable, mature and intelligent player, something that would make him lethal for his rivals.
Korda and Draper can give big surprises if they are spared due to injuries
Nor can we ignore the immense potential that it presents Sebastian Korda, and that we could not see at its peak in 2023 due to injuries. Petr’s son has a good chance of translating his good tennis into some brilliant results and, above all, in a year of certain regularity in a status higher than what he has achieved so far. He gives the feeling that sooner or later he will storm the elite and 2024 may be the ideal time. A similar case is that of Jack Draper, with everything necessary to do very important things this campaign if the injuries allow him. He may have a long way to go to be top-10 in 2024, but nothing can be ruled out with a tennis player as dangerous as the British left-hander.
Another tennis player who seems predestined to enter the top-10 if he does things well and continues to evolve, is Alexander Davidovich. We have been waiting for some time for that definitive breakthrough from the Spaniard in the form of a groundbreaking result in an important tournament, and although he has been very close to achieving it, he has resisted. With one more year of experience, the man from Malaga intends to meet the highest expectations surrounding him. He is the typical tennis player who, with a few weeks of inspiration, can climb many positions and become among the best.

Fewer options, apparently, seem to have two young players and in clear progression, such as Lorenzo Musetti y Arthur Son. Many placed the Italian as strong competition for the best in the world in his generation, but it seems that the Italian has a long way to go, especially off the clay. In any case, it is not ruled out that he achieved some achievable successes with his current tennis and surprised the world with his growth on a physical and mental level. For his part, the Frenchman will want to emulate other recent precocious stars and take the definitive leap that will lead him to rub shoulders with the best. They deserve a separate mention Nicolas Jarry y Ugo Humbertvery well located in the ranking ATPbut which give less guarantees of continuing to evolve and achieving a meteoric emergence into the top-10. In short, an exciting 2024 is ahead.
