Monfils, Wawrinka, Gulbis, and Baghdatis.

 

[Dreamer]

In the top 20 I'm feeling:
Isner
Monfils

My outside shot is:
Gilles Simon. He has a kid to feed now. Watch out for those draws Fed and you heard it here first.

You're right. I got carried away & was thinking upset at any time.

[whoopinstick]

nobody has said Isner yet I don't think. He could get hot one match and pop a few serves and forehands.

 

[jaggy]

Hewitt and Tomic

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Interesting choices. Tsonga's health is still a question mark, does anyone know if he'll be fit for AO?

A lot of people saying Wawrinka - he had a great run at USO but still to me is by and large not a big tournament player. When push comes to shove it's hard for me to see him being a serious threat to Djoker, Fed, or Nadal in a slam, and I don't think he'll trip up Muzza again. Feel similarly about Monfils.

Verdasco? :lol:

I'd say Cilic, Nalbandian, Davydenko, Baghdatis, are the guys who would threaten top players in their quarter. JMDP is stilll a big question mark, Almagro, Gulbis, etc haven't proven they can do it in the slams against the best of the best.

 

[heathenrider]

Roddick?! 10char

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Roddick?! 10char

Roddick's likely a top 8 seed and wouldn't meet any of the top 5 until the QF. OP says, and I quote, "Name ten players that can spoil the top 5 players' road to quarterfinals at AO."

 

[koslav85]

Thanks JB for clarifying that , 10 players who could potentially upset a top 5 player on the road to quarterfinals, and I don't think rankings will change much prior to AO. Davydenko is probably the biggest threat looking at his hardcourt record vs top, maybe Nalby.

 

[nadalbestclass]

In no particular order:

Melzer
Youzhny
Querry
Monfils
Baghdatis
Llodra
Nalbandian
Davydenko
Fish
Wawrinka

 

[P_Agony]

Gulbis

Gulbis

Troicki

Florian Mayer

Nadal

Mun

Serena

Berankis

Gulbis

Mun is wat past his prime.

[Justin Side]

He says he's fit. He's signed up to play the Aubi Dubai exo this week and Doha next week.

Good to hear.

 

[tacou]

on a hardcourt anyone can lose to John Isner. If Tsonga is healthy he is dangerous, Monfils always has a big win in him. Who knows about Gulbis.

 

[Serendipitous]

Gulbis.

 

[Touch of Grey]

Delpo
Cilic
Berdych
Verdasco
Youzhny
Mayer
Seppi
Harrison
Hajek
Nishikori

 

[15_ounce]

Andrey Golubev FTW

 

[Clay lover]

Dr. Ivo FTW

 

[david93]

I wonder if DelPo is still able to destroy Rafa on HC

 

[Sentinel]

Tsonga again !!!

OMG, what happened !!!!

*cry*

 

[Doublebounce]

Tsonga, Gasquet, Isner, Fish, Simon, Hewitt, Baghdatis(always seems to do well down under), de Bakker, Istomin, Davy, and NIshikori

 

[JeMar]

What happened to Serendipitous?

 

[kishnabe]

Tsonga again !!!


OMG, what happened !!!!

*cry*

Such a big loss for TW ...Hope he comebacks as something else! Mundiptous?
