In a recent poll on Badzine, our readers picked 16-year-old Indonesian Jonatan Christie (pictured) as the player most likely to win a major men’s singles title (Grand Prix or above) before leaving his teen years. Christie, winner of last year’s Indonesia International Challenge, beat out two World Champions as well as two Grand Prix Gold semi-finalists, garnering an overwhelming 81% of the votes.

The youngest candidate in the , Christie still has 3 and a half years left to accomplish the feat, while current world #13 , who finished a distant 2nd in the , still has another six months to prove the majority of Badzine voters wrong.

Jonatan Christie was recently interviewed by Badzine, in a player spotlight to be published very soon.
