The 2010 tennis season got off to a great start with the excitement of the recent Australian Open. Once again, Roger Federer showed who’s boss by mercilessly dispensing with Andy Murray to capture yet another Grand Slam title.

Don’t assume, however, at this early stage, it’s going to be the same winners at all the Majors. There are a few good players just waiting to seize the moment and lift a few big titles themselves. Here are a few who showed great promise last year, and this could well be their time to shine.

There are quite a few players waiting in the wings to show us what they are capable of after showing great promise in 2009. The first one is on the women’s tour, the American teenager Melanie Oudin.

The peak of her 2009 season was beating some big names to battle her way through to the semi finals of the US Open. With years yet to mature and grow as a player, she could well be lifting many major trophies in the years to come.

21 year old Marin Cilic is a rising force to be reckoned with in the men’s game. Only 21 years old and already established as a top ten player, this young man could really come through and realize his potential in 2010.

He has started the year brilliantly, and currently has a 15-1 record, he’ll be hoping to capitalize on this and go on to cause some major upset in the coming year.

His career has unfortunately been blighted by gambling scandals, but now that these are behind him, he is fully focusing on his tennis.

He is fast becoming Federer’s nemesis, having beaten the Swiss master twice in their last three meetings. As the unfounded gambling rumours have now gone, it seems that he is now free to just concentrate on what he does best.
