Top 10 Young Tennis Players – These are some of the rising stars on the ATP World Tour who are taking over the sport.

The first of our top 10 young tennis players in men’s singles is Austrian Dominic Thiem. He has already made quite a name for himself on the ATP World Tour. Thiem is on the verge of a grand slam singles title. In 2018, the young Austrian reached the finals at the French Open, falling to the King of Clay Rafael Nadal. The Roland Garros title was Nadal’s 11th but Thiem proved that he has what it takes to win on clay. He has also shown consistently strong play across the board, qualifying for the end of year ATP Finals in London for three consecutive years.

#10 of the Top 10 Young Tennis Players is Dominic Thiem

Maybe the only reason that Thiem is not atop the list of these best young ATP stars to watch is that he already has such an extensive resume. Having turned 25-years-old in September of 2018, the Austrian has become a household name in men’s singles tennis. He also makes headlines off the ATP courts as he is dating WTA Tour tennis star Kristina Mladenovic. The two seem to be the dream couple of the tennis world. As for what the future holds for Thiem, look for him to reach another grand slam singles final in the coming years. He ought to be one of the top contenders in any tournament he plays and a major tournament win is right around the corner.
