Even if it was more a donation of 2 Queens titles; Nalbandians meltdown and Nole's generosity when holding match point! :whistle::unsure::cautious::confused::(

A "donation" of Queens? Are you still butthurt by Djokovic's loss at Queens? It has been 6 months, get over it. It is very childish to adopt the attitude of "my favorite player only loses when he is not at his best". Djokovic was playing at his best at Queens, stop with the excuses and give merit to Cilic.

I remember Djokovic destroyed Dimitrov at Queens 6-1, 6-2 or something like that, and everybody was talking that he had raised his level since RG.

Cilic played fantastic the whole tournament, and he had a draw from hell. In order to win Queens, Cilic had to beat Müller, Querrey, Kyrgios and Djokovic. With such a complex draw, Cilic deserved the title and you are being very unobjective dismissing Cilic's accomplishment.

If Fred won a slam I don't feel he will retire yet.

Years ago Toni Nadal said Nadal will quit in 31 yrs old which is 2017. But after winning slams he postpone his retirement.

Cilic is one of the best players out there, but he doesn't exactly "bring it" every match; allowing many to escape his clutches! He's earned his wins, but I still had to point out how he's one of the luckiest players out there who benefits from other people's collapse; esp. when Nalbandian was up a set, went nuclear injuring a linesman, was disqualified, and the tourney given to Cilic who didn't exactly win it 6 years ago! :cautious: :rolleyes: :(

It's time for new blood!
1. Zverev
2. Djokovic
3. Nadal
4. Coric
5. Thiem
6. Anderson
7. Tsitsipas
8. De Minaur
9. Goffin
10. Khachanov

Can't really see Djokovic and Nadal vanishing just yet, they'll give Zverev some serious competition. But it really just seems a matter of time before Zed breaks the Slam barrier. He also can dominate at the M1000 level already.
Coric is a bit of a wild card. Right now he seems just a giant killer, not yet a top contender. I'm just being hopeful.
I really hope Shapovalov and Chung can break through after all their struggles this year. Tennis needs players like them.

I agree with most of this, but Zed "dominating" M1000 events? OCO! Just because he owns a couple and took the YEC? Please! I hope he gets to this mythical level though! We definitely need a change at the top even though I'm on board for Nole to eventually become the reigning GOAT! :unsure::rolleyes::)

Like Murray, he's breaking down and IMO only cares about the FO; hence his success there when seemingly "down and out" in early rounds! :sneaky::unsure::rolleyes:;)

He is still dominant on red clay. but Rafa better hope Novak and Dominick isn't 100%, if they are Rafa's reign could come to an end

Rafa's not so dominant IMO when Nole's on his game and challenging him! He proved he could get the job done from 2011 on in Rome, Madrid, and Monte Carlo; trashing Rafa in Paris back in 2015 though he was at his lowest point before a resurgence in 2017! :sneaky: :unsure: :rolleyes: ;)

Nole wins AO, RG, and Wimbledon.

In an act of unbelievable generosity he allows Nadal to win the USO.

I disagree. The serbian machine will win the real Grand Slam and the Nadal will conquer the Laver & Davis Cup!

Anderson is 6 at the moment, the field is weak. Delpo could recover and have a good year or have more problems, I'm being optimistic, he was number 3 at one point last year

I think it's hilarious that some people legit think that Federer is going to be out of the top 10 by the end of this year.

He can be a shadow of himself all year (and skip several months) and he'd still finish in the top 10.

1. Djokovic, winning everything of importance to him

2-20. Tough to tell who will pick up the most of Djokovic’s discarded scraps

At a guess I’ll say Nadal #2 based on him winning lots of clay tournaments.

Zverev will pick up 2 garbage masters, so he’ll be top 5.

It’s basically the WTA in the Serena era. Some Woz type player will pick up enough Djokovic discarded scraps to be #3
