I've been inspired to make this thread after seeing how many first time titlists we had last year and how this year we have 1 so far and 1 more guaranteed. So who else do you think will claim their first title in 2020?

Just wondering because this year was amazing with the amount we had, it was nice to see that. But because of that, I'm not sure about next year. Write your predictions below.

Ok so I was right with Shapovalov, De Minaur, Fritz, Lajovic and Mannarino. But its insane how many others I just did not see coming, like Sonego or Garin. Does this year hold the record for most amount of first-title winners? Although I'm guessing next year there will be few first-timers.

I would honestly like to extend the draw to 10. Having that might solve some really sad finishes where one player just barely qualified over another just as good one (like Agut, Monfils, and Berrettini this year). Also, Best of 5 Final for sure.

Tomic

1977, 1978, 1982 and 1989 are the worst, the other should have finished number 1.

Probably Djokovic, it is fairly wide open though. I could see Federer, Nadal or maybe even Tsitsipas or Medvedev

1: Djokovic 2: Nadal 3: Federer 4: Thiem 5: Medvedev 6: Tsitsipas 7: Khachanov 8: Agut 9: Nishikori 10: Fognini

I'd like that. Bring back Sampras and McEnroe then.

I suppose he could win a slam or two. More masters for sure. Probably will be in Top 4 or 5

Well we already have Sandgren and De Minaur winning their first titles. When Sandgren reached the QF's of the AO last year I figured he would win a title that year or the next year. For De Minaur since last year I knew he would get a title with all his good performances. Here are some of my...

Im going to say when Federer beat Del Potro in the 2009 Quarterfinals. Del Potro was still young and all but he should not have lost in this manner. Also considering how he almost beat Federer in the French Open SF's that year and actually beat him in the US Open Finals that year and the WTF SF's.

This is a theoretical idea. -1000's: Indian Wells, Monte Carlo, Rome, Halle, Cincinnati, Shanghai -750's: Dubai, Miami, Madrid, Queens, Canada, Bercy

I've always though this could be interesting.

Halep: 4 (I feel like she will get a AO and a USO and another RG) Kerber: 7 (I think she gets another one at each slam she's already won but 2 more at the AO) Serena: 24 (She gets one more USO and retires right then and there)

Australian Open : Kerber French Open: Svitolina Wimbledon: Sabalenka US Open: Halep

Thiem will have a greater career Im sure. But he needs to win a clay masters this year at least. He missed good chances in Rome 2017 and Madrid 2018 but he should get the job done at a masters this year. When Nadal retires, Thiem will probably win RG.

Tsonga by a little bit. But where does Ferrer fall here?

But I could see Lajovic, Dere, Marterer and those kind of guys sneaking in a small 250 every now and then.

Well I was right for De Minaur. Now Im looking towards Jaziri and Mannarino.

4th round loss to Raonic.

No. Simple like that/

Agreed. In 1990 both were young but Agassi was the clear favorite. In 1995 Agassi had swept every tournament in the Summer Hard Court Swing. In 2001, Agassi had won a Slam and 2 other masters. In 2002, Agassi had won 3 masters. In 2001 and 2002 Sampras was really not his best but still won. At...

I think the Grand Slam count will end like this. Federer: 21 Nadal: 20 Djokovic: 18 2019 AO: Djokovic 2019 RG: Nadal 2019 WIM: Federer 2019 USO: Del Potro 2020 AO: Nadal 2020 RG: Nadal 2020 WIM: Djokovic 2020 USO: Djokovic 2021 AO: Djokovic 2021 RG: Nadal 2021 WIM: Anderson 2021 USO: Zverev

Good predicitions. I agree for the most part.

Who knows what might have happened if Khachanov won this match. Also what if Thiem won his match with Rafa.

My bad, only Federer. Still an impressive win.
