Well, to be fair, you don't know how he's going to perform when he returns.

[Gonzo_style]

1. Djokovic
2. Murray
3. Nadal
4. Del Potro
5. Federer
6. Berdych
7. Raonic
8. Tsonga
9. Ferrer
10. Gasquet

[FEDERERNADAL13]

What I want:

1. Federer (2 slams (Wimby and USO to be the #1 at both)
2. Rafa (Come back strong, win FO)
3. Djoko/Murray (whichever wins in Australia)
4. Djoko/Murray (above reasoning)
5. Delpo (Hopefully gets the WTF title)
6. Ferrer (Wins like 7 titles again)
7. Raonic (Breaks through to the top 10)
8. Tipserevic (consistency throughout the year)
9. Tsonga (Does well, at least one GS final)
10. Peliwo/Dimitrov (Just because)

What I think will happen:

1. Djokovic (Wins AO plus finals in some others, like this year)
2. Murray (Wins some grandslam, close race with Novak for #1, could even be #1)
3. Federer (Gets to a GS final, maybe wins like Wimby 2012, wins Cincy, maybe the WTF)
4. Rafa (I hope he wins another slam next year, but I'm not sure how he'll react to the time off)
5. Delpo (Maybe a slam, maybe a final, maybe anything. I just want him back in the top 5)
6. Ferrer (How can't you like this guy? I think he'll be consistent enough for a top 6 finish
7. Tsonga (he can get really hot at times, maybe get to a slam final, maybe some semis, you never know with him)
8. Berdych (Don't like him, but he's good at tennis)
9. Raonic (Just missing out on WTF qualification, but its a step forward for my countryman)
10. Gasquet ( I like the guy, and he can get hot like Tsonga)

Bonus:

Querrey into top 15-20
Baker into top 30
Peliwo into top 75-150 (big range, but you never know)
Dimitrov into top 20-30

you think Cilic will get to top 10 ? Well, with the way he played today, not very likely. He has to improve all part of his game to get there. AS IT IS, he's been mediocre at best, beaten by a #65 in the world.

I would have thought he would have made a major dent in the ATP by now, but since his stellar performance in OZ Open of 2010, nothing much. Am not sure what's his exact problem is tho'

[Romismak]

Top 4 should be top 4 even with NAdal and his limited schedule or Roger declining + he will have limited schedule probably by himself

than 5-8 should be the same , big hitters Delpo,Berdych and Tsonga if healthy are better than the rest the biggest threats for top 4 at slams and Masters1000. Ferrer will probably decline little bit - i mean he is not getting any younger, but thanks to his seedings he will be making QF, at many big events + points from Acapulco, and some 250 will be enough for him to end top 8 again.

Than 9-10 this is big question, basically anyone in top 20 with good season and form can go there, Tipsy was solid 2 years in top 10, he can do it again, but we will see, Isner,Raonic have potential to by YE top 10, guys like Wawrinka, Gasquet, Cilic,Almagro, Nishikori and other top 20 with can end up bottom top 10 too.

So i just can say top 8 if healthy should be big 4 + Delpo,Berdych,Tsonga, Ferrer

9-10 is really open for at least 10-15 players we will see who will have better and who much better 2013 than 2012 from those guys.

This is what happens when Fed drops out of a tournament.

The overreaction from some of you guys.

3 Roger Federer
4 Juan Martin Del Potro
5 Rafael Nadal*
6 Tomas Berdych
7 David Ferrer
8 Kei Nishikori

* This depends how competitive Nadal is.

Gasquet at# 8 ? Hope so, but not likely.

9. Wawrinka
10. Querrey


I wouldn't be surprised to see a year similar to this year with Djokovic and Murray swapping the #1 and 2 spot a couple of times and it coming right down to the wire to know for sure who will end the year at #1. I think Federer and Nadal could go either way, and a lot will depend on whether or not Nadal comes back at 100%. If he does, anything goes.

[BER256]

1. Andy Murray
2. Novak Djokovic
3. Juan Martin Del Potro
4. Rafa Nadal
5. Roger Federer
6. Jo Wilfred Tsonga
7. Kei Nishikori
8. Milos Raonic
9. David Ferrer
10. Tomas Berdych

I expect a pretty big drop for Isner because he has been extremely inconsistent this year. Tipsarevic is an inconsistent player and his high ranking this year was due to a good end of year. I expect Sam Querrey to move up into the top 15 and I expect Ryan Harrison to stay where he is. Donald Young sucks. That is all.

With Fed growing old and perhaps not being as motivated after breaking almost every possible record there is to break, if Djoko-Murray slump a bit, Nadal will easily regain #1 ranking like he did in 2010.

to all of this. You know that none of this is going to happen so you say it will in hopes of bringing down some almighty jinx on top of Nadal's head. Lol. Well,he doesn't need your jinxes to be a big failure next year because he will do a fantastic job of that all by himself(if he even comes back at all).

If your prediction becomes a reality I would suggest that Federer should run, not walk to his retirement celebration! If Del Potro and Tsonga ranked higher than him is not a sign that he needs to retire, I don't know what is. The thought of it is cringeworthy. Blech!

are you kidding me, isner is on the top 10? No way....

[BER256]

Isner will not be in the top 10. So many of his results are him losing in early rounds and some very average players beat him while on a good day he can beat any player (look at Davis Cup), but I expect Querrey to become the top American

[Sabratha]

If Tomic gets his head together, he could be top 20. I see quite a few changes to the top 20 next year, but not so much the top 10. Every player in the top ten has some sort of consisteny to keep themselves within that rank. They're in their primes and that's their potential.
