Post your best case scenarios for 2017(who would you like to win)

The only rule is that you cannot pick the same player for every tournament. For example, me as a Novak fan cannot pick him for every tournament. Ideally you should name at least 4-5 players. Here goes my list:

Starting with the slams+WTF:

1)AO - Andy Barron Murray OBE - deserves it.
2)RG - Rafael Parera Nadal - Double CGS. Real champ.
3)Wimbledon - Stanimal - completes CYGS
4)USO - Federer - numero 18 and outright leader at USO
5)WTF-Del Potro - to cap off a good comeback.

Masters

1)Indian Wells - Murray
2)Miami - Murray
3)Monte Carlo -Nadal
4)Madrid - Murray
5)Rome - Murray
6)Montreal-Murray
6)Cincinnati- swiss maestro Federer
7)Shanghai - Federer
8)Paris - Murray

Others

1)Halle - Federer
2)Stuttgart - Nadal
3)Queens - Murray
4)Dubai - Federer
5)Basel-Federer
6)Beijing - Novak Djokovic

p.s prediction should be somewhat reasonable also. Ideally you shouldn't randomly pick Dudi Sela to win CYGS for example.
 
AO-Raonic

Indian Wells-Djokovic
Miami-Murray
Monte Carlo-Nadal
Madrid-Nadal
Rome-Nadal

French-Nadal

Wimbledon-Del Potro

Canada-Raonic
Cincy-Federer

US Open-Murray

Shanghai-Djokovic
Paris-Djokovic
WTF-Djokovic
 
Ideal scenario is always a CYGS for Rafa, along with 9 Masters and WTF.
But to keep it some what realistic, a slam would be fantastic in 2017, a Fed #8 at Wimbledon wouldn't be too shabby either and a slamless year for Nole and Andy with a new number 1 would be much appreciated, just like Delpo and Stan winning slams

Well these 3 are sharing the moniker; didn't you know? Roger has the most titles, but is owned lock, stock, & barrel by the other 2! They excelled on clay and he didn't, and the longer he hangs on, the more tainted his record against them becomes! Nadal was the clay GOAT obviously with 9 FO's and multiple strings of wins at other clay events! He never defended a title off the surface, which brings us to the last GOAT of HC's, Djokovic! He has won 6 AO so far where no one else can say won 3 in a row going back to pre-Open tennis! He held the #1 ranking longer than Rafa and pretty much toys with both who are well "over the hill!" I think he misses them which is why his level of play has fallen off of late! Both Roger and Rafa discontinued competition after the FO and Nole's not been the same since! :rolleyes: :p ;)

Wow; someone's dreamin' big! It's been years since anything like this would be possible! Too many players are just not consistent enough to even come close to these results! It's one thing to upset a top player, but to follow it up and win a final has occurred less than a handful of times in recent years! Cilic and Wawrinka the lone recipients of majors and Masters events outside of the Big 4! I'd love for it to happen, but it'll only occur in a sleeping state! :rolleyes: :p ;)

Good tennis is the best case scenario. If Federer wins every slam in a crap-shoot insult of tennis, then I'll be unhappy.

The only wish I have is young success. Young guys really challenging at the big tournaments, hopefully winning some.

Like the idea of Tsonga for Wimbledon, the French kind of 'deserve' a GS champion with so much depth in the men's game and so many citizens playing the game.

Not my fave decision, but I wouldn't mind Nole winning FO, picking up another CGS to elevate him closer to Laver! It'll just be another "check mark" which sets him apart from Fedal! It's a lot easier for the ladies; Hell, Graf has 4 with an actual Golden Calendar Year Grand Slam to her name! :rolleyes: :p ;)

Djokovic owns Federer lock stock and barrel? Djokovic was successful on clay but Fed was not?

What drugs are you on and where can I get them...
 
Fed is the HC GOAT. 5 straight USO 6 WTF. 4 AO. 7 Cincy, 7 Swiss Indoors Djokovic needs 2 more USO then like 4-5 Cincy titles - not happening.

The last major Roger took off of Nole would be back in 2011 IIRC! Along the way in some of those wins, Nole was able to come back from double MP's twice; 2010 & 2011 USO semi's! If Fed can't overcome Nole on grass in consecutive Wimbledon finals, that's ownership, LSB! :rolleyes: :p ;)
 
AO: Federer. It would mean he's won 3 of the 4 slams at least 5 times.
RG: Murray. I was going to pick Federer, but I'm not greedy.

We can tell! The OP tried to save you from yourself and the delusions still came to the fore! You expect Federer to have a career year at 35 after his longest absence from the tour and surgery! OMG, pls seek help a.s.a.p.! j/k! :rolleyes: :p ;) :eek:
 
My heart tells me Nadal will win everything but my mind tells me he won't. 2017 will go like this:

AO - FO - USO: Djo

Rome: Murray
Canada: Raonic

Shanghai: delPo

It was 2012, by which point Fed was 31 years old with heavily declined movement and ground strokes. An he still owned PEAK Nole at RG, USO, W. USO was a choke but he still got outplayed by post prime Fed.

Anything post 2012 is irrelevant as Fed is a grandad.

23-22 with lots and lots of matches vs post prime Fed isn't a very good stat for Novak. Fed had to face prime Novak from 2007, and still owned him up until he declined too much to win those BO5 matches.

If Djokovic was born in 1981, he'd be a 3-4 slam chump TOPS with ZERO Wimbledon / USO titles as Fed would take him to the cleaners there. He'd sneak maybe 1 RG title in 03-04 before Nadal cleaned up from 05. AO Fed would own him on rebound ace, and by the time they roll out the slow high bouncing plexicushion, Fed would probably win there too.

That's a lot of if's, and's, and maybe's! Whatever! All the more reason maybe "granddad" should retire because all he's doing is hurting his legacy! :rolleyes: :p ;)

Nah none of his post 2012 affect his legacy at all. In fact, winning a few titles, reaching finals and being the number 2 in 2014-2015 only adds to his legacy, doesn't diminish it.

Prime for prime, Fed owned Djokovic, even post prime between 2011-2012 at RG and Wimbledon. Djokovic only got the upper hand once Fed heavily declined.

Fed = GOAT.
 
Also there's not much ifs and buts where Djoko and Fed are concerned, Djokovic only took the lead 23-22 in 2016. He's had 5 straight years of bashing on post prime aging Fed, then geriatric no movement Grandad Fed.

Fed on the other hand only had 1 year (06-mid 07) of bashing on pre prime Djoko before he established himself as a top 3, masters winning grand slam finals (soon winning) player, thus entering his prime mid 07 after Rogers cup.

Any matches mid 07-10 are fair game as the primes overlap. 11-12 is peak Djokovic vs post prime Federer. 13 Fed had broken back and racket issues. 14-15 was geriatric grandad Fed.

Jesus Djokovic should be leading like 35-10 or something with the huge age advantage he has over Federer. 23-22 reads badly for Djokovic.
 
Here's what i think will happen at the slams next year:

AO - Raonic
FO - Murray
W - Federer
USO - Zverev

{I what you're thinking, "where is Stan with his god mode slam run? Well, I can't very well predict where that will take place, can I?} :D

1. That's what will happen if you ask me. Raonic is so hungry, especially at AO after fighting Murray there many times before in close contests. I think this time he won't choke, and Murray will feel the extra pressure of being NO. 1 and having to deal with the expectation. :confused:

2. Djokovic is pretty much done at the slams, as is Nadal, so Murray is the net most likely to take the French, although he will have to get past Thiem which will not be a easy task indeed. Murray's experience will see him through in the end for his first FO title. Not bad for a bin man. :p

3. Federer is unstoppable on grass when he is fully fit and not recovering from injury. What happened against Raonic this year was unfortunate, but Fed was still testing his body. If Federer makes it too the final which he will do if he is fit, then all that remains is to beat Murray, an easy pidgeon for the Fed. :eek:

4. Crazy prediction Zverev, but Delpo made the final when he was 20, and so Zverev will be in September. This guy will improve massively in the off season, and he is so much younger than the other guys that I think he will simply have more left in him by the end of the season. His serve and groundies did good this hard court season, he will be a major threat net year.o_O

:):cool:;)
