He is 20. In tennis, if you're an elite talent it's crystal clear by the age of 20 that you're an elite talent. With Harrison, it's about as clear as mud.
I don't love Harrison's game at all. What are his weapons? He reminds me of a poor man's Giles Simon. I don't get what all the hype is about. I see him as a top 20 player and nothing more.

You're absolutely right about Harrison. I've never been impressed with him whenever I've seen him play. The only young player I really like is Milos Raonic. Now, that kid has weapons. That's why I laugh at people who think Djokovic and Nadal only have a few years left to win slams because of their age. Who are the great young players that will knock them off their perch in the next five years? There aren't any. Federer's considered a late bloomer yet he still beat Sampras in Wimbledon at age 19 and was a top 15 player in his teens. None of the current teenage crop comes close to matching Federer's feats at an early age. It sort of reminds me of the late '90s, early '00s when an aging Agassi and Sampras racked up slams because the caliber of players born in the late '70s were unbelievably weak. I believe Djokovic and Nadal still have plenty of years to win slams especially Djokovic since he doesn't have the mileage on his body that Nadal does.
