If Novak can continue to contort his body and maintain his speed at 37/38 then he'll certainly deserve it.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Healing energy pyramids and gluten free fare...I would expect it.

If nadal and Federer are both gone and Novak has all the records I am not sure what his motivation is to be still going though is?

I don't think he will and I don't think he'll be playing. Federer and del Potro thinks he'll still be no. 1.

Hindsight's 20/20 and this was a perfectly legit list when it was made.

 

[gjm127]

Paire and Tomic

Dmitrov at 1 was never a legit prediction. Dude sucks

The thrill of competing. It's not all about records. Ideally, it would be almost not at all about records.

 

[NoleIsBoat]

Djokovic will be top 2 based on winning AO and W every year for next 5 years

Yeah and Novak loves pitting his wits against the younger generation. He’s loving trying to stay the alpha male of the sport for as long as he can. Many new rivalries for him to enjoy

 

[Standaa]

lol what year is this from?

 

[sportmac]

No.

2017 year end rankings:
nadal

thiem
cilic
goffin
sock
wawrinka
carrino busta

 

[OhYes]

No Kyrgios ???

 

[shawn1122]

Ernests Gulbis? What drugs was this person on? Whatever it is, I want it.

 

[BrooklynNY]

I think there's a few players we haven't really heard of yet that will be there, it's hard to go 3-4 years out.

 

[Oval_Solid]

Shapovalov

Solid list - Remove Ruud and replace him with Korda and that's about what i think - also replace Hurcacz with Musetti or someone else we haven't heard from yet

I forgot about Korda, I agree, he's probably going to be top 10.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djokovic had highest weeks at number 1 in 2010s.
He already has been no. 1 for every week since 2020 Jan. That's 57 weeks (+6 guaranteed). He might end up with most weeks at number 1 in 2020s as well. So he should be somewhere in top 10 after 3/4 years.

 

[Stefan]

Top ten will be dominated by players who's last name ends with "V" or "C".
