Top 5 contenders for No. 1 ranking in Men's Tennis in 2018
2018 is promising to be a very exciting year for Tennis. With the first quarter of the season about to get over, we have already seen glimpses of what to expect going further into the season. The clay-court swing would see the return of Rafael Nadal on the tour as Roger Federer takes a sabbatical until the grass-court part of the season starts.
It has been heartening to see a resurgent Juan Martin del Potro make his mark early in the season. In a career hampered by injuries, Del Potro's return to form and his display of top-flight tennis is a welcome change for fans and players alike. Federer has been as sublime as ever and even at 36, has nearly dominated the first three months on tour.
With the younger generation of Zverev, Coric, Chung, Schwartzman and others also announcing themselves so early in the season, it becomes a study in a case to figure out who might be the top contenders for year-end no. 1 ranking as the season goes by.
It is still too early to make such predictions as the competition is thick, but this might be the year when the coming generation challenges the likes of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic for the ultimate throne.
Let us have a look a the contenders for this season's year-end no. 1, across generations.
