are you sure about the men though?

The women are packed from top 10 all the way to 50. That is why I suggested a mix of players making names for themselves in slams next year. (and of course I hope Hsieh scares some people in 2019) I am not too optimistic on Serena, Kerber and Osaka in slams in 2019.

The men though are in a broken stratum as it appears to me, the giants were too dominant for too long so nothing else could grow. While falling into decline, there is complete drop off in the link between them and the next level. This is the opposite of the WTA. The current ATP reminds me a bit of the WTA just after the mid eighties. The problem is that there is no new thought or innovative thinking in the men's game anymore. A sudden shift at some point, maybe not next year or possibly the next, could result in somebody, even deeply flawed compared to the previous 3 Kings, taking all the slams almost by default.

I hope Djokovic holds the line for a little longer.

Pretty hard year to predict, honestly. The top guys’ health and form is more unpredictable than ever.

AO: Djokovic
French: Nadal
Wimbledon: Federer
USO: New winner (Zverev? Nishikori?)

Probably 3 out of the 4 slams are on lock by the Big 3, question is who will be that lone one who gets one in 2019?

Zverev or Thiem possible for Roland Garros. AO too tough, too hot and physical for young guys to break through. Wimbledon probably not. USO and RF only ones who could get new winners.

My AO prediction was correct :shock:
Does this mean my RG prediction will be correct? Thiem because Badass isn't a last name FTW

First I want to see a Thiem-Djokovic at RG (even if Djokovic would be the huge favorite, it still would be a great match).

you got your wish

AO: Djokovic
RG: Nadal
Wimb: Djokovic
USO: Nadal
YE # 1: Djokovic

Congrats. Although the YE #1 is still up for grabs but if Djokovic plays the full schedule he should be the favorite. Nadal is only playing Paris and WTF.

If Djokovic plays Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, WTF, and Nadal only plays Paris, WTF you'd think that 1960 points lead that Nadal has right now may not be enough.
Can you remind me what exactly Djokovic won this season apart from AO and Wim? :unsure:

He is capable of winning all of these tournaments. I am not saying he will but he has done it in the past and he should be fresh, given his early exists at Cincy and USO. If his shoulder issue is fixed I expect him to target the year end #1.

Just pointing at the fact that his form was not impressive all season with the exception of AO where he entered Ultron mode for 2 matches. And the injury concerns are still there.
