The main reason I see Murray passing him. I also believe Ferrer is in a tier by himself between the big 4 and the field (except maybe del Potro, he's a wild card for me.) He's a special case, he's having more success now than his younger age.

LMAO!!! Don't know why, but this post got me laughing so hard
C'mon, Delpo and Tsonga aren't that bad and Fed could still remain a contender in slams even if his ranking drops (though obviously it will be harder once he drops out of top 4 territory).
1) Djokavic - it's hard to see someone over-taking him right now. he's just better than Murray and everyone else had a good reason why they wont' be #1..
2) Murray - again, youth, hunger consistency
3) Del Potro - I think he wins a slam next year, I'm just not sure which one. I don't like him, but he's getting back to '09 form slowly but surely.
4) Federer - cuts down on tourneys and has a lot to defend and he's not going to defend it all. I hope for one slam.... I have a bad feeling it's going to be worse than 2011
5) Nadal - Wins 2 clay masters and the French Open and nothing else.... and that's good enough for this ranking.
6) Ferrer - because at this point it doesn't matter anymore.. we're talking about guys that can't win slams... no one that hasn't won one yet seems ready to take a leap.

8) Tsonga
9) no one is still reading my post
10) you've left by now, right?

Your first 8 are spot on. But 9-10, is probably not.

If everybody says Nadal is done, doesn't that mean he won't be a top ten player anymore?

Proof of how underrated Ferrer is as most have him 6th or 7th and nobody 3rd.

So it looks like 2-3 people called Nadal to be #1, and only one person called Wawrinka to be in the top ten before 2013 started. No one called Ferrer to be #3 (in fact most had in him dropping to 7-10 range, myself included), and only ONE person had Federer dropping out of the top 4.
Pretty unpredictable year I'd say.

Thanks for this gem
This will be bumped in November next year to prove me right.

Of course I knew exactly what will happen after Nadal returns from his "injury break". But you, of course, are the resident Oracle of wisdom.
Think of this thread the next time you're trying to predict the winners of the next 10 slams or whether current 19 year-olds will ever amount to anything.
The difference between these predictions and reality is exactly why they play the matches: we just don't know what will happen.

When i put Federer to finish the year at number 7, I did of course immediately get accused of trolling
great post.
