There are already atleast 2-3 threads exactly on this.
Why create a new one?

And lol, Serena won't do the CYGS. It's just not possible! She'll be 33.

Nadal can win AO & FO. Wimby doesn't seem like a possibility at all.

I strongly disagree that Djokovic will win Wimbledon (IMO by far the least likely slam for him to win), and even more strongly disagree Sharapova is winning another slam anywhere. Sharapova back up to #2 over Azarenka as well? No way. We will see though, should be fun.

 

[HailDjokovic]

I don't think wimbledon is that hard for Djokovic as everyones makes it out to be.
2011:W 2012:SF 2013:F

If he didnt choke against murray this year, it would be a very different story.
He is the least prone to the upsets that happen during the early stages so he is almost always guaranteed a SF. If he can keep his mental game up(his only obstacle)then he can win it just like any other slam.

 

[gabybackhand]

He lost in straight sets. I don't know how you define choke but I don't see how that can be a choke. He got his *** handed to him, and was never in any kind of winning position. Murray is just a better grass court player. Nadal at his best is also a better grass court player, even though GOATing Djokovic took him out in 2011. Although who knows if Nadal will get his act together on grass again or not.

Anyway even more than Djokovic at Wimbledon I was most surprised at your Sharapova picks. I really think her career is almost over, and I would be absolutely shocked if she won a slam or got to #2 next year. I guess we will see though.

If I remember correctly he broke murray early BOTH sets and let him catch up. First serve % was very low as well.

I dont get how you define choke. If you do choke then you SHOULD lose in 3 straight sets. The U.S open was the only time this year where I think he got completely annhilated whileist still having suitable rallies.

I don't know of any of the other threads.

Why cant Serena do the CYGS. She is by far the best player. If she:

1. Doesn't get injured in a slam
2. Either avoids a player playing out of their skin (lisicki at Wimbledon) or survives that day if it happens (which she should have done vs Lisicki as she went up and the 3rd and would have won had she taken break points midway through)
3. Doesn't have a horribly off day of her own, or like #2 survives that day if it happens

She can win all 4 for sure. It wont be easy but very doable. Age with Serena is just a number. Anyway lots of past greats were in their primes until 34 or 35- Navratilova, Laver, Rosewall, Gonzales, Wills Moody.
