It looks like you are at 6/10 in The Race, so it will be interesting to see how a few of your players end the year.
Who Will Be Top 10 At The End Of 2025

Fokina out and Cerundolo in the Top 10.

Batting 8/10 in rankings and 7/10 in race to Turin. Didn’t expect Tsitsipas to have such an off-year.
Beacon Hill

He might be doing as well as he can. In all the major categories, what does he do better than the other players in the Top 20?
socallefty
G.O.A.T.
His serve and FH stats always used to rank amongst the elite and he moves well for a big guy with good reach. On slow courts where he has time to hit his BH which is not a compact shot, he used to hold his own with most top players. He also used to have decent shot tolerance to win long rallies.
But now it seems he makes errors more easily, he is ranked outside the top 10 on the ATP serve leaderboard in the last year and he is unable to compensate for his weaker BH/return/slice with his serve/FH weapons. He also had the coaching breakup with his dad and his social media posts seemed to indicate he was trying to become more independent from his tennis coach/parents. So I think he hasn’t been in a good place mentally in the last year while he is trying to figure out life as an independent adult.

Agreed. Previously his skills were enough to be in the Top 10, but I think the depth now is much higher.

I only go by the Race because we're picking the Top 10 for this calendar year.

If Djokovic does not do well and Wimbledon, I don't see him making Top 10. It's unlikely he'll play enough tournaments.

Musetti in and Shelton out of the Top 10. Djokovic hanging in there by a thread.
nolefam_2024

Djokovic is close to 3000 pts already. This amount is sufficient to end top 10 for 2025.
In fact if he beats gobolee in qf of Wimbledon, he would be third in race to turin.
I think everyone knows Djokovic level yet they either overrate or underrate him based on the agenda.

Shelton and Musetti came out of nowhere. Rest of the players are solid bet by end of 2024.
Fritz now has won 800 pts from Wimbledon. He will very likely be inside top 8 by end of the year. Before wimby, it was looking dodgy.

Djokovic has entered top 3 in race in 2025. Some 2400 odd points coming from 3 slam semifinals.
Of course that also means he would be in top 10 by end of the year even if he doesn't play another match now.

Three tied for first place with eight correct picks, and six just one back with seven correct picks.
It looks like the Top 5 players in the Race likely have enough points to finish in the Top 10 without playing another match this year.

Ruud has a tough draw in Paris, he will have to make the quarterfinals to make the year end top ten and he would likely need to defeat FAA to make the quarterfinals and I rate FAA as a better player than Ruud. Though Ruud could take a wild card to enter Metz or Athens to make the year-end top ten

Yes, he is but Ruud needs 200 points from Paris to make the year-end top ten which looks challenging for him unless he is going to enter Metz or Athens.

Apparently he'll be back for exhibition matches at the end of the year, but he won't add to his points total.

It will be interesting. Ruud is more consistent, but FAA has been playing well lately.

Medvedev (13)
Ruud (9)
Rune (12 so close)
Paul (20)
Musetti (8)
De Minuar (6)
Zverev (3)
Hurkz (71, oooffff. Knee surg took him down)
For me, Fritz and FAA are surprises making moves.

You will keep Musetti, but lose Ruud, so it looks like 5/10. Not bad for this year with lots of surprises.
Beacon Hill

4/10 for me. I got the first four on my list, and then 0/6 after that - tough year. I picked some young players to break through, and most faltered. I didn't think Djokovic would play enough to be Top 10. Medvedev showed promise at the end of the year, but it wasn't enough. Ruud was consistent, but didn't quite get there. Fils got injured.

Bublik might knock Draper out this week.

ChaelAZ
G.O.A.T.
In my picks Zverev and Meddy are really what messed me up. They both went the exact opposite of how I thought things would play out.
Then for players NOT on my mingo card, Bublik and FAA are both a big surprise. Not so much for FAA with the team changes and refound focus, but Bublik..I just never saw him as serious or dedicated competitor, but in line with an early Monfils with being a bit of an entertainer, and certainly not having near the athleticism. Huge surprise there.

Agreed. He may very well be in the Top 10 this year and an alternate at the WTF. He has also has very few points to defend for the first few months of 2026.

All are tied for the lead with 7/10.
However, FlatShot_V did not pick Draper, so would still have 7/10 even if Bublik passes Draper this week.
