There. I said it.
Egg on my face if he loses in a major in 2017.

To dream, perchance to bel19ve at RG'17.hahaha, surely not (he'll come up short but win the rest ;-))
He can beat Murray. Murray hasn't been a problem at all since Fed changed his game.it's definitely not out of the question that he wins a 2nd major this year. Pretty amazing. I mean if he brings this level to Wimbledon grass, where he still has pretty much a significant advantage over everyone because he's a natural grass courter and so so few are today, who exactly is going to stop him now that Novak is declined, and he can beat Murray you would think? Dimitrov might be the stiffest competitor for Wimbledon honestly.
And then you look at USO and the storylines could be extreme. If Djoker/Murray go the whole year without a major then it could be them reclaiming their hold on tennis, or it could be Fed/Delpo turning back the clock for one last NY classic, or Dimitrov/Zverev further signaling their future hold on the game, or another epic hurrah for Nadal in NY. Definitely excited in how this year could go...Dimitrov/Zverev are making it so that they are the alphas of the "young guns" and pushing Raonic/Nishikori back to their rightful place in the 2nd tier. If Dimitrov and Zverev continue to build on this tournament the weak era will slowly draw to a close.
The current numberer is 18.nadal is going to overtake fed's 17 in 2019 at the french open
CYGS? Nah. I genuinely think he's got a real shot at #19 this year.
He can beat Murray. Murray hasn't been a problem at all since Fed changed his game.
As long as Djokovic stays out of his way and he doesn't run into ultra-hot Raonic or something he has a good chance.
But I don't even care any more. He's done all the winning I have ever wanted now.
We had a dry spell for 5 years. It's ok to be a bit greedy now
If you Photoshop betterer, he has a chance to put a crooked numberer at the start of his slam count.Fed's done. 18 Slams for Fed.
If you Photoshop betterer, he has a chance to put a crooked numberer at the start of his slam count.
The danger in doing that is your tennis becomes a bit rusty compared to the other pros because of the lack of competitive tennis prior to a major.
He needs to play at least one warm up tournament before each grand slam to keep his senses and timing sharp.
Love this thread. Unfortunately Stan has already marked W 2017 as a win on his career grand slam calendar though
Nadal to win 15th Slam at RG this year
Sadly, suresh has already marked #15 on Nadal's calendar, so the chances of someone else winning it just went up.
I hope Nadal wins FO, not just because I like him but more importantly to placate 90sC, suewesh, and octobee, who badly need to "keep calm and calm down" !Nadal has accumulated so much dissatisfaction and anger towards his narrow loss in AO I think he's going to take out his frustration in the remaining grand slam finals. He's gonna play his heart out in FO this year for sure. Since it is the next slam following AO, he'll have the best shot winning his next slam in FO this year.
Fed's going 85-2 this year

But wait! Fed will not get the calendar year grand slam because after he wins french, wimbledon, and US, the paris masters will be upgraded to a major, and federer will lose in the finals. But nevertheless, federer will obtain 30k points in 2017, breaking nole's record by 14k points
