The last 49 mens singles Grand Slam titles have been shared between just 10 players with the so-called big five taking a stranglehold on the mens game. Roger Federer (17), Rafael Nadal (14), Novak Djokovic (11), Stan Wawrinka (2) and Britains Andy Murray (2) have shared an incredible 46 major crowns between them since Wimbledon in 2003.So who is the next player to break the sequence? Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori and Nick Kyrgios are three next-generation players touted as serious Grand Slam contenders having all claimed ATP titles in recent years. So what about the rest of the pack? There are a number of highly-talented young stars who could potentially cause and upset or two on the red stuff at Roland Garros.Kei Nishikori Kei Nishikori lost the Barcelona final to Rafa Nadal Dynamic dark horse Kei Nishikori is a former US Open finalist and has the speed, agility and guile around the court to be regarded as the best outsider for the title.The Japanese trailblazer collected his fourth Memphis crown earlier this year to take his total career titles to 11 but world No 1 Djokovic and clay-court king Nadal have been a major obstacle for the swashbuckling 26-year-old from collecting a big win on the dirt.After losing out to the top-ranked Serb in the Miami final he was unable to retain his Barcelona crown against the Spaniard. Nishikori v Novak Djokovic in the final of the Miami Open A semi-final defeat to Djokovic in Madrid followed and he then took the 11-time Grand Slam champion to three gruelling sets in the last four of the Rome Masters, but once again came out second best.He had been plagued with injuries earlier in his career, and has been through physical wear and tear over the course of a major tournament before, which is one of the main reasons why he has failed to collect a major title.But with American legend Michael Chang in the corner of the former world No 4, Nishikori has the shot-making ability and battling qualities to be a real contender in Paris.Milos Raonic Highlights from Milos Raonic v Andy Murray Hard-hitting Canadian Milos Raonic laid down his French Open credentials with a blistering start to the year.He won his eighth ATP singles title at the Brisbane International but has recently suffered consecutive quarter-final exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid to Murray and Djokovic - yes, those two again! After losing coach Ivan Ljubicic to Roger Federer leading into 2016, the 25-year-old got one back on the 17-time major winner in Brisbane before embarking on an impressive run at the Australian Open. Highlights of the final at Indian Wells between Novak Djokovic and Raonic He looked to be on course for a place in the final after outplaying Murray for long periods. But leading two sets to one, he became increasingly hampered by an abductor injury, and struggled to push off and change direction. That resulted in a five-set defeat. Probably the most heartbroken Ive felt on court, Raonic said in his post-match press conference.The physical and mental hurt from coming so close to a major final will be etched in his mind, but with tennis legend Carlos Moya on his team, the 6ft 5in former Wimbledon semi-finalist will hope his fans will believe in the sleeve as he eyes his first major final and make up for his absence in Paris last year due to a foot injury.Nick Kyrgios Kyrgios executed the perfect between-the-legs shot If youre looking for excitement and controversy then look no further than Australias Nick Kyrgios.The 21-year-old Canberra star is regarded as the next big thing Down Under and has the ability to play an expansive style of game which involves a world-class serve, an easy motion when striking through the ball and accurate shot-making most of the time. He also has a brash attitude and has as many headlines for his on-court misbehaviour as his outlandish talent.The proud Australian of Greek and Malaysian heritage was involved in the infamous sledging incident against Stan Wawrinka when he received a suspended 28-day ban and a $25,000 fine for a vulgar comment he made towards the Swiss at the Rogers Cup in Montreal last year. Kyrgios questioned the integrity of an umpire... He began 2016 in eyebrow-raising fashion by answering his phone on court before a mixed doubles game at the Australian Open.But he seems to have put his past misdemeanors behind him and recently demonstrated why he has been tipped for stardom by winning his first ATP title at the Marseille Open in February. He has also reached three other semi-finals and took Nadal to three sets in Rome.Dominic Thiem Highlights of Dominic Thiem beating Roger Federer The final player on the list is budding Austrian talent Dominic Thiem. His game has been harnessed by Boris Beckers first coach, Gunter Bresnik. At the age of 22, he has risen up the rankings at a speed of knots - he is currently world No 15.At a rangy 6ft 1in and almost 13 stone, Thiem is a real athlete with a powerful forehand, a strong serve and nifty hands, although he admits needing to work more on his movement around the court.Nicknamed Dominator he demonstrated his versatility by winning in Buenos Aries, where he beat Nadal.Thiem, who also won three titles on clay in 2015, then went on to triumph on the hard courts of Acapulco before finishing as runner-up to Philipp Kohlschreiber in Munich this year.He heads to Paris having reached the quarter-finals in Rome where he put out Federer in the last 16 before falling to Nishikori in the last eight.Any more? Borna Coric leads the next generation With the best of the rest, dont discount 13th-ranked David Goffin who reached back-to-back semi-finals in Indian Wells and Miami earlier this year.Then theres teenage sensation Borna Coric who has finished as runner-up in Chennai and Marrakech in 2016.The final player to keep a close eye on is 19-year-old German star Alexander Zverev. Nicknamed Sasha, he likes to serve big and is aggressive on his ground strokes and return which is why is has already climbed into the world top 50.Who do you think will make a breakthrough at the 2016 French Open?

Djokovic and Murray are always in the hunt So far this year world No 1 Djokovic has been in awe-inspiring form after winning the Australian Open. Hes 37-3 for the season heading to Paris and has already collected five titles this year, including victory on the Madrid dirt.World No 2 Murray has proved he can dig deep against the very best once again. He mastered Djokovic for only the second time since his Wimbledon win by conquering Rome to put him in high spirits heading to Roland Garros.Then theres Nadal who seems to be reinvigorated and his vintage form and confidence has returned just in time for Paris as he aims to land an unprecedented 10th title.Then theres Wawrinka, who may find it tough to retain the title he won in such dramatic style against Djokovic last year. The Swiss world No 4 has suffered a dip in form. He has an 18-7 win-loss record so far this season, despite collecting early-season titles in Chennai and Dubai. On Clay his best effort was a quarter-final spot in Monte Carlo, but everyone knows he can produce his best on the big occasion.Check our news/reviews and features ahead of the French Open 2016 on skysports.com/tennis, our app for mobile devices and iPad and our Twitter account @skysportstennis.

Tyler Naquin Jersey . - Gary Kubiak is John Elways No.KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Canadian head coach Doug Derraugh knows his team cant keep relying on dramatic third periods against the United States.Canada scored twice in the final five minutes on Wednesday in a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Americans in round-robin play at the Four Nations Cup, a game reminiscent of the womens gold-medal final at the Sochi Olympics when Canada scored late in regulation and again in overtime to stun the U.S.Derraugh — who is in his first tournament as head coach and will also lead the team at next years world championship — said nerves played a role for his young team in front of the home crowd early, but added a better overall effort will be required moving forward.I thought we settled in a little bit as the game went on, said Derraugh, whose team sits at 2-0 and already has a spot in Saturdays final locked up. There were moments where I thought we played really well, and I thought there were moments where we struggled.I think if were going to have success against (the U.S.) any time from here on out that we would need to play a stronger game than we did Wednesday.The United States can guarantee a rematch in the championship game of the four-team tournament with a regulation victory over Sweden (0-2) in its round-robin finale on Friday, while anything less would put the Canada versus Finland (1-1) result in play later that evening.Canada and the United States are both using the tournament to evaluate young players ahead of the 2018 Olympics, but they arent the only ones looking to leave a mark on their respective national programs.Derraugh, who was an assistant with Canada in 2012 and coaches the womens team at Cornell University in the NCAA, said the Four Nations is also a chance for him to show he belongs at this level beyond the spring of 2015.In coaching youre always looking to challenge yourself. You want to learn and I think this was a great opportunity for me to learn more, said the Arnprior, Ont., native. Im always trying to get better and this is certainly a good stage to put yourself on to force yourself to work harder and get better.When you get an opportunity to represent your country at this level its certainly an honour. Im humbled by it and certainly want to do the best job I can.The same goes for the Canadian players given leadership roles in Kamloops. Hayley Wickenheiser and Jayna Hefford are among the 10 veterans who were left at home, meaning that players like captain Haley Irwin and assistants Rebecca Johnston, Lauriane Rougeau and Natalie Spooner arre being given a chance to grab the torch.ddddddddddddYouve got some of the older players not on the squad at this time and its an opportunity for some of the players that havent been in a leadership role to step up and help us in that regard and help develop their leadership skills, said Derraugh. Whether theyre the next leadership group or not, it will help them in the future because theyll have had that and theyll know what its like to be in those roles.I think thats really helpful for a player if you are the captain, but its also really helpful if youre not the captain in the future so you know the pitfalls and you know what its like.At just 26, Irwin said it has been an adjustment being one of the senior players on the squad.Our rosters a lot different. Its weird to say Im a vet on this team, she said. Its definitely a new role for a few of us, but definitely one were embracing.The U.S. also has a lot of youngsters trying to cut their teeth, as well as a coach who is also getting his first experience at this level.Former NHL defenceman Ken Klee coached with the U.S. under-22 program before being asked to lead the senior team at the Four Nations. As it stands now, Klees commitment ends after Saturdays final, but he also sees the tournament as an audition.Thats the way the coaching gig is. Youre here for now and doing the best you can, said Klee, who played 934 games with seven NHL teams before retiring after 2008-09 season. Its that way for the young players and the same for me as a coach. Im enjoying it and trying to do the best job I can.Its a great opportunity. When youre a coach and you have a chance to work with elite-level athletes who want to get better everyday, thats a great situation.Derraughs team already knows it will be playing the final, but he still wants a 60-minute effort from Canada against the Finns, who lost 5-0 to the U.S. before topping Sweden 1-0.Were looking for strong execution of our game plan and see the habits that are going to make us successful not only at this tournament, but in the future, said Derraugh. Right now it hasnt been consistent. Until we get to that point where we are consistently doing the things we need to do its going to be tough.Notes: Canada has won the Four Nations Cup a total 13 times, while the U.S. took top spot in the other five. ... The Americans finished third as the hosts last year in Lake Placid, N.Y., behind Canada and Finland. ... The womens world hockey championship will be held from March 28 to April 4 in Malmo, Sweden.
