10 – Hyeon Chung

It’s been a breakout year for the 22-year-old from South Korea. Currently ranked at 23 in the world, Chung had an excellent run to the semi-final of the Australian Open at the start of the year, which included a clinical win over Novak Djokovic.

Since then, he has struggled with injury, missing both the French Open and Wimbledon to recover. However, there is no doubting his ability and could upset a few big names if he remains physically healthy.
