Look I hope he wins USO but he's already had a blimin good season with the Slams, I don't think any of the Big 3 are taking out USO.
 

Raining hopes

I am making a prediction about what I *think* will happen not what I *want* to happen, of course I want to see him go undefeated for the rest of the season. Is it possible? Yes. Is it probable? Not entirely. Do *I* think it'll happen? No. I've said it many times since Sunday, his Wimby win was more than enough for 2019, the USO would be a cherry but he's already had a great season. I think a first timer will win USO.

Only time will tell.

He won't win anything after 2019 wimby... if he does its like gravy on the top......
Well I agree with the gravy sentiment, anything from this point on til the end of the year is a bonus, he's playing with house money, even if he makes SF and F in Masters events he'll have enough points to remain Numero Uno and eventually take the record for most weeks.

Blue balls reminded me it's actually Montreal for the ATP this year, silly Canadians, can't they just play it in the same city annually like every other tournament.

No wonder Amurica won't merge with Canadialand.

I really want him to win Montreal, reason being Fed withdrew because the pain of losing the Wimby final was too much, and Nadal will be hobbling around in three-set marathons against qualifiers and wildcards, it's the perfect Masters for him to win and it'll start a nice little win streak for him.

I do not think that he has enough motivation/passion in him right now to do what Federer did before he came to WC19. Djokovic's fitness for WC was obviously worse than Federer's as clearly displayed at the end of 5th set. It is simple - Djokovic did not train enough. And he did not train enough because he is experiencing first signs - lack of motivation - he is getting truly tired of his 15+ years chase.

He will win no more than one Master, if at all. Actually, he should sneak in some short vacations in order to get to USO19 final and WTF final. We all know If the gets to both finals, he very likely wins both. The trick is to get to/reach these finals first and in order to achieve that he needs to have better fitness than he had at WC. Can he do that?

It is hard to sustain top form in a continuos single run without a drop for more than ~18 months. He started this run at WC18. Therefore, it is not likely he wins USO19, WTF19 and AO20. The best real life scenario for him is likely 2 out of these 3. But if he lacks motivation to improve his fitness like Federer did at 37 for WC19 - it might be 0 out of 3.

It's 2019

The amount of dangerious floaters is 0

Then Tsitsipas, FAA, Thiem or someone else will pull an upset and everyone will start calling him the future world number 1 and GS winner until his next loss.

RBA is probably the one to watch out for the most, then Fognini/Tsitsipas/Zverev if he can get his act together which he could at any time realistically.

FAA is too premature.

Have a gut feeling it is going to be a fun USO. Nadal has lost some mojo since the french open but he will be ready. Thiem rba and others will do good on the hard courts.
