Four young players from the generation after the current Big Four had strong showings at Wimbledon over these past two weeks. The next generation of ATP World Tour stars is beginning to take shape. Here is a look at how they did, and what the future could hold for each.

Grigor Dimitrov:

The Bulgarian is now a top-10 player after reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon. Dimitrov had clinical straight-sets victories over Ryan Harrison and Luke Saville to start. He then had a tough five-set win over Alexandr Dolgopolov but bounced back from with style to advance in straight sets against Leonardo Mayer and stun defending champion Andy Murray. He did fall to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in four sets, but he took a set off the Serb and acquitted himself well.

Dimitrov also reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open this year. With three ATP titles this season on three different surfaces, he has proven his mettle as an elite ATP player on a consistent basis.  While Grigor still has things to refine, he has reached the point in his development where he will consistently be a favorite to reach the second week of majors. He must be consistently considered for quarterfinals and semifinals on all three surfaces. For a while, some were wondering if he would reach his potential as a pro, but the doubters have been silenced now.

Milos Raonic:

The Manitoba missile also reached his first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon. Raonic, who before this week was not known as a good grass player, began his fortnight by defeating Matthew Ebden, Jack Sock, and Lukasz Kubot without dropping a set. He then advanced in four sets past both Kei Nishikori and Nick Kyrgios to reach the semifinals. He was defeated 6-4 6-4 6-4 by Roger Federer at that stage, but it was still a competitive match, and like Dimitrov he acquitted himself well.

Raonic made the quarterfinals at the French Open, and he has also reached the quarterfinals or better at every Masters 1000 tournament this season. This proves that he plays his best against the best. Since he started working with coach Ivan Ljubicic, Raonic has improved his all-court play. While he will still need more work on his groundstrokes to complement his massive serve and solid volleys, he also has to be considered a contender to reach the quarterfinals or semifinals at most of the big tournaments, especially those on fast surfaces. Milos continues to exceed expectations, and it will be interesting to see what he can do this summer in the US Open Series. Perhaps his maiden Masters 1000 title awaits in Cincinnati or Toronto.

Nick Kyrgios:

Kyrgios has now arrived as a top-100 player, and the sky appears to be the limit for the 19-year-old Aussie with Greek roots. As his fellow young Aussie Bernard Tomic did in 2011, Kyrgios reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals for his best result at a major, and in the process he upset world No. 1 Rafael Nadal. He began his Wimbledon journey with a four-set win over Stephane Robert and then had a masterful performance against Richard Gasquet, winning 10-8 in the fifth set after saving nine match points. Even while fatigued, he defeated the promising Jiri Vesely in four sets and Nadal in four sets before falling to Milos Raonic in another four-setter as he simply ran out of energy.

In both of his top-20 wins at Wimbledon, Kyrgios showed maturity and wisdom in his shot selection and pacing well beyond his years. His serving was masterful against Gasquet and Nadal in both power and placement, and his forehand also did not let him down. He is a complete player physically, although his weaknesses are his volleys and to some extent his speed. Kyrgios is at his best on faster surfaces, but he seems to have the resilience, proper conditioning, and passion that players like his compatriot Tomic lack. This allows him to finish matches more confidently than many players.

Kyrgios could very well snatch an ATP title before the year is out, for his ranking will now allow him to move beyond the Challenger level, where he has multiple titles this season. He may bring a lot of new fans to the sport simply with his swagger and style of play, as he leaves blood, sweat and tears on the court. The more he refines his game, the better he is going to get.

Jiri Vesely:

He fell to Kyrgios in the third round, but the 20-year-old Vesely was for a while the highest-ranked teenager in the ATP. He hasn’t gotten as much attention as a rising player after Wimbledon, but he also deserves for how well he played at SW19 this year.

Coming out of nowhere, Vesely upset Gael Monfils in five sets to reach the third round, and he did take a set off Kyrgios, who went on to beat Nadal. Vesely is now a top-60 player and will be one to watch at ATP 250 and 500 events this summer, for he can compete on all surfaces. He has the potential to be the next great Czech player along the lines of Tomas Berdych and Ivan Lendl, and he could surprise a top -0 player soon. He came closest so far against Andy Murray this season, losing a three-setter in Indian Wells, so clearly the potential is there. A top-20 ranking within the next three seasons is certainly possible for him, and making the second week of a major seems to be a goal he will achieve soon with the right draw.
