Big Foe, Taylor and Tommy are 26/27 and would have been considered underachievers until this year. Shapo is 25 so time is running out, but I don't buy stock on 1HBH players in the current era anymore, sadly. Felix is 24 so a bit more runway. Diablo could carve out a niche similar to Milos, using a huge serve and FH to be almost unbreakable and pounce on any opponent serve lapse.
Leylah should settle into a consistently seeded grinder that gets around 3 matches deep in most tourneys, with non-slam title shots possible when the draw opens up. Bianca I don't see turning things around because she's caught in the fear of injury/lack of match play loop.
We'll see what happens this weekend, it's Team USA's best shot at a double major. Next year, Sincaraz locks everything down and nobody will get past a confident Iga/Saba firewall either.
