In recent years, tennis has been marked by unwavering stability, with Novak Djokovic traditionally dominating and leaving little chance for his opponents. While his successes are as predictable as the sunrise, the tennis world’s attention is now turning to the next generation of players ready to pick up the mantle from the departing greats such as Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer. For tennis fans, 2024 promises to be an exciting period when young stars will ascend to the top of the tennis world.

Who among the young stars will win a Grand Slam tournament in 2024?
Predicting anything in tennis is challenging, especially considering that Djokovic was on the verge of victory in each of the four major tournaments last year. However, Yannick Sinner has already secured the Australian Open title at the age of 22. Carlos Alcaraz, after his second triumph at Wimbledon and claiming the top spot in the rankings, has become a rising star.
Holger Rune, a week younger than Alcaraz, also shows the potential to be among the best in his age group. Despite a challenging summer, Rune rose to fourth place in the rankings, and Boris Becker’s appointment as his coach promises new heights in his career. Will he improve upon last year’s Australian Open quarterfinal results? The answer will become clear in the coming months.
Who might surprise us beyond the Top 20 rankings?
Nineteen-year-old Arthur Fils, who had never participated in the Australian Open qualifiers before, could surprise us at Grand Slam tournaments this year. In 2023, he made an impressive leap in the rankings from 251st to 36th after a successful 2022, winning his first ATP title in Lyon, defeating Top-10 opponents, and excelling in New York, reaching the 24th spot. His five-set victory in a Grand Slam tournament highlighted his resilience.
Young talents from the Czech Republic
In the tennis world, the Czech Republic seems to be a talent factory. With four players in the top 15 and eleven in the top 130, including four teenagers, the country demonstrates impressive tennis potential. Leading the Czech youth squad is 19-year-old Linda Noskova, who gained recognition 18 months ago for her match against Emma Raducanu at the French Open. The winner of the junior title at Roland Garros in 2021, Noskova continues to impress with her progress.
Best young players from Britain
Emma Raducanu has started the new year impressively, continuing her training at the National Tennis Centre in London and selecting a coach for the Australian swing. Another promising development is the success of Jack Draper, who won over £400,000 at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown grand finale.
Let’s explore a few more young players who could become bright names in British tennis in the coming years.
- Hannah Clagman (15 years old): Predicted for future success, watch her performances in Wimbledon qualifiers and other tournaments.
- Henry Searle (17 years old): Wimbledon junior champion, successful in ITF with top-1000 year-end ranking.
- Mark Seban (14 years old): Winner of the boys’ under-14 tournament at SW19 and Les Petits As in France, showcasing tennis talent that could make him one of the future greats.
Mirra Andreeva
Last year, we witnessed four different winners at the four major tournaments. In this context, it would not be surprising if the self-assured teenage blonde, Mirra Andreeva, emulates Maria Sharapova’s success two decades ago by winning a Grand Slam before turning 18. Just 17 years old in April, Mirra’s impressive achievements and unique playing style make her stand out, but she’ll need to keep her passions in check for this year to be her true breakthrough.
