Next new slam winner?

First topic message reminder :

With recent talk on here about how hard it will be for Rafa to keep winning slams after he turns 28 next year, I thought it would be interesting to see who people think will be taking over. We have had one new slam winner in the last four years - at that time 8 time masters winner and 4 time slam finalist, Andy Murray. Who will be the next new winner?

The choices seem to be:

(a) The Nearly Men - Berdych and Tsonga have been to slam finals and other SF and have also each won a Masters. Stan and Gasquet have made Masters finals and were SF in the last slam. On the downside, they are all older than the top 3 but could one of them step up?

(b) The Chosen Ones - Dimitrov, Tomic and Raonic all emerged on the big stage with decent immediate impact and hype. They have all had limited success but generally disappointed in slams. Perhaps the least hyped of this age of players - Janowicz - has the most notable axhievements with a slam SF and a Masters final. Can this bunch surge past the established order?

(c) The Next Gen - Yiunger still we have the likes of Vesely and Thiem who have made giant strides this year but not yet made any impact on the bigger stages. Nick Krygios has made waves at just 18 with a win over Stepanek at RG. Kimmer Coppejans has put together impressive Futures results. Do any of these guys really stand out?

So next winner and where and when? Let's see if anyone can get it spot on!

If Ferrer won a Slam I would give up on tennis completely!
