Its alot of djokovic there, but seriously he will be the favourite in almost every one of them. Of course he will not be able to win everything as it always is some outsiders that takes some, but he still will be a favourite. You can't pick anybody else.

I think it will be another year of dominance from Djokovic, this time I see him win RG, the title he wants the most. I think we are about to see a redemption of 2011 djokovic where he clutches 3 GS titles and most of the masters. This time the compitition is not that big as it was 2011, so expect a much success from Djoko.

Atleast I expect him to win the most, otherwise it is very dissapointing with the quality and consistency he has. The consistency and health will be key moments for this success I think.

how can anyone seriously think that Nadal will ever win the Aust Open again. he is 1 for 9 attempts!!

The last time he won will be 5 years ago come Aust Open 2015.
 
There are only about 5 other threads on this same topic, might as well put up a 6th. Mind you, it's a new day, so why not throw up a 7th?

Corections:
- He is 1 for 12. Need to count all the time he skipped as well.
- It will be 6 years. Not 5.

Also considering his decline I am speechless that so many thinks Nadal has any chance whatsoever to win AO. I really doubt he will go past QF actually.

And your point is? Nole is none for 10 attempts at RG and one for 10 attempts at the USO. That doesn't stop anyone picking him to win them.

French Open- Nadal, Serena
Wimbledon- big surprise winner men (one of the young guns probably), Kvitova

Well there are some in this thread who think Federer will win it, and that is far and away more unlikely. Federer hasn't even made the Australian Open final since 2010, and has lost his last 3 matches to Nadal there, and been straight set blitzed his last 2 with Djokovic dating way back to 2008.
 
I agree Nadal will likely win 2 slams next year but no way is Bouchard winning a slam. Bouchard, Halep, and Lisicki all winning a slam in the same year!??! Are you high.

Because he was the runner up this year playing injured against a guy playing the tournament of his life. Absent the year before. Lost one of the greatest matches of all time in the 2012 final to Novak & was in the quarters the two years before that after his victory & injured during one of those & retired. It isn't like he is crashing out in the first week to nobodies.

Well Sabine is more of a pipe dream because I love her attitude, style of play & desire her sexually more than any other female player-but it isn't impossible as she has been going deep at Wimbledon in recent years-including the final last year & can match/boss anybody physically which gives her a huge advantage.

For me the women's game is wide open-Halep was runner up at the French this year & made the semis of another slam & the quarters of another so why is it so hard to imagine her winning it? Bouchard in just her second year on the tour made it to two slam semis, was runner up at Wimbledon & the fourth round of the other-I find her arrogant but she has a lot of talent & could easily win one of the four this year.
 
Bouchard just got her butt kicked totally by everyone at the WTF, and it isn't because she sucks indoors to the point if she isn't on fire she will be mauled like Nadal. She isn't winning a slam next year. No way at all. Maybe in the future, but definitely not next year and she will come nowhere near her 2014 in the slams.

Also the womens game as open as it might be will not have 3 huge surprise winners in the same year. Probably 1 at most and 2 would be a huge surprise. Whatever Serena doesn't win the next in line are people like Sharapova, Azarenka if she gets back together, a revived Wozniacki, Kvitova at Wimbledon especialy. Maybe Halep could be put in that group, but not at the top of it. Bouchard and Lisicki definitely aren't in that group today.

So did Cilic & he won the US not long before. She is a big match player who believes in herself. I would usually agree it is too soon for somebody of her age/experience to win but she seems very mature & focused in her preparation & approach, very physical etc. Nobody thought she would have done what she did in 2014.

While the mens game is generally predictable-although not this year in the women's game anything can happen. I think the old guard like Serena & Maria are going to have a hard time hanging with these youngsters .
 
Sorry but no way in hell is Bouchard winning a slam next year. Think what you want, but you are nuts to think after going downhill in a big way to end 2014, and being slapped around silly by everyone at the YEC she is going to turn around and win a slam next year. She had some luck with some amazingly good draws in the slams this year, but still had to win the matches so good for her. However others are now onto to her, she was the new gun this year and for awhile people were clueing into her game. She now has to go back to the drawing board and work really hard to improve her game to even get back to where she was n early 2014. It will take until 2016 atleast to even get there.

She is a big match player? Is that why she got spanked silly by Kvitova at Wimbledon, and even went down tamely to Na in the Australian Open semis? Why she couldn't take numerous chances of beating a very subpar Sharapova in the French Open semis. I don't see it really.

Serena is not going to have any trouble with Bouchard anytime soon. Especialy in a slam. Don't kid yourself. Maria maybe a bit more, but Maria despite being capable of another slam title through sheer mental strength alone is vurnerable to lots of people outside of maybe clay, and will be the remainder of her career. Maria would still be by far the likely winner over Bouchard in a slam quarter, semi, or heaven forbid final for atleast a couple more years, and I don't even think Maria will win another slam either (although she could).
 
Never say never-Fed sucked in 2013 & made it to the business ends of three slams this year & could have won Wimbledon. She beat some top players in those tournaments & looked very assured in doing so.

So she lost a slam final nobody thought she had a hope of being in to a prior champion & lost to a great veteran slam winner in the semis of another slam & lost to another great in the semis of another slam, not bad for a young kid new to the tour.

Nobody thought Serena was going to have trouble with Cornet this year who Bouchard then dispatched or Sabine last year-she can be beaten. Maria will win more slams as will Serena, but their days are numbered due to these young lionesses.
 
If Serena's days are numbered (and to your immense disappointment you will learn they aren't, so brace yourself) it sure as hell wont be due to such lightweight players/wannabee stars as Bouchard or even Halep. It will be due to age, and MUCH more talented players than Bouchard, who at some point will emerge. Serena at 40 would still win most encounters with Bouchard I am sure.

I don't think Maria will win another slam to be honest, but she is more likely to win 1 in the next 2 years between her and Bouchard by a huge margin. Bouchard will take atleast that long to improve to even be in serious contention for one ever again, and that is the point Maria will be turning 30 and weakened enough to even fall below the likes of Bouchard in the contenders odds. I do think Bouchard might well win a slam someday (although also wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't), and might even be more likely to win a future slam than Maria but it wont be next year sure for sure. I would easily bet 10, 000 dollars minimum on that.

Numbered in the sense of being totally dominant-as I said she will still be winning slams in the near future. Of course father time-it catches up to every athlete eventually & she has had her fair share of health problems in recent times & carrying all that bulk around will not be doing her any favours.

Only time will tell of course-but the women's game has become very interesting for the first time in a long time the last couple of seasons & these youngsters will be out there challenging for majors in the years ahead.

Serena is more likely to win 2 or 3 majors next year than Nadal is (even though Nadal also could win 2, more in a year is probably a stretch at this point). That is all I will say.

Nadal's body is already older than Serena's, and his competition harder. I don't know why you think the WTA is at a high now. 1998-2007 was the toughest ever time for womens tennis, and today is nowhere near that. It is part of the reason 33 year old Serena is dominant in the first place. Even this year she was awful for her standards (and I am sure will be better next) due to personal problems and nervousness at the 18 mark, and still kept #1 all year.
