Is mens tennis different than womens irt age you can dominate at? Seems like teenagers can do a lot better in womens tennis, and in mens you pretty much won't start to dominate until your in your 20s.

Grigor Dimitrov (Bulgarian) was meant to be one to watch, he won both Wimbledon and US Open junior titles in 2008 but hasn't really taken the next step. Still only 20 tho.

Federer wasn't dominating at 20, Nadal was just a freak and probably doesn't do the younger guys coming through any favours because the media try and compare them to Nadal at the same age. It's extremely rare to get a mens player playing Top 10 tennis at 19-21.

Edit:- Maybe Top 5 would be better there.

Tomic is the name you always hear for future star, but it's hard to see "this kid will be able to beat Djok in 3 years" when you watch him

How have I never thought of this, so true. Anyone trying to write like DFW (other than DFW) just makes for painful reading.

I don't think any of them won a junior major? Think fed won Wimbledon actually.

I remember Murray won one.

Also was Monfils meant to be the hottest thing sure he had a crazy year and won 2 or 3 junior slams in a single year.
