In the mens game?
Who can break the current stranglehold of the top 3 (& lately 2)
Murray, Tsonga, Tomic, Raonic, Dimitrov, Ferrer, Berdych, Soderling, Dolgopolov, Monfils, Harrison, any one else with a chance?
Who will be the next 1st time slam winner?

Its hard to say.
Theres 3 levels in my opinion. Top is Djoko and Nadal, then the 2nd tier is Murray and Federer, then below them knocking on the door is all them players you mentioned.
I think Tsonga and Berdych could make the step up in the next year or two!

You can take Mr Murray off that list in my opinion.

In Murray's defence he looks more likely of beating the number 1 player in the world than Nadal. Then again Nadal seems to find it easier beating Murray than anyone else.

Of all the players mentioned here, only one makes sense (Murray) and one is a long shot (Tsonga). As for the others, not a chance. Monfils, Harrison, Nishikori...seriously? Monfils will remain a clown, Harrison is hugely overrated (Raonic too, by the way) and Nishikori will not even get into top 10. None of them will get anywhere near winning a slam.

It's obvious. Andy Murray.
