10 Biggest Prospects On The ATP Tour

10. Quentin Halys

Quentin Halys is yet to fully make his breakthrough on the ATP Tour but he has shown glimpses of his ability and there is every indication that he has the attributes to be a success in the sport.

After winning back-to-back futures events as an 18 year old, he was handed a Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros against Rafael Nadal. He would have perhaps preferred an easier contest but facing the best clay-court hitter ever was a hugely beneficial experience and he did not disgrace himself against the legendary Spaniard, winning 10 games in a straight-sets loss.

The rest of 2015 saw the Frenchman progress onto the Challenger Tour and his performances earned him a wildcard for the Australian Open. His inclusion was justified with a win over the experienced Ivan Dodig and it set up a showdown with multiple-time winner Novak Djokovic.

It represented another opportunity for Halys to impress on a worldwide stage and although he lost 6-1 6-2 7-6, he showed that he was a fearless competitor and if he can further develop his shot-selection and temperament, he can go far in the sport.

He has done little since his meeting with Djokovic and he is still some way from being the finished article, but he has time on his side and could prove to be a late developer.
