Your ideal 2016 Grand Slam season?

Mine would be:

AO: Lleyton Hewitt d. Djokovic in 4 sets (odds of happening are ~0%, but it's Hewitt's last GS and 20th AO)
FO: Djokovic d. Nadal in an epic 5 setter (in a season where Nadal finally finds his groove)
W: Federer d. Djokovic in a 4th set tiebreaker
Olympics: Fed d. Nadal, and finally gets that Olympic singles gold
USO: Federer d. Nadal in 4 sets

And then ideally, Fed doesn't retire in 2016. And Djokovic gets the Golden Masters. Nadal competes at the highest level again.

What would be your ideal 2016 season?

AO: Murray finally wins in Melbourne
FO: Djokovic finally completes Career Grand Slam
W: Federer finally wins 18th Grand Slam and breaks record for most Wimblys
USO: Djokovic defends the title to add salt to the wounds of the Arthur Ashe crowd
Nadal wins 9th Monte Carlo and Madrid, the rest of Masters shared between Djokovic (who wins Cincy), Federer and Murray. No new generation storm at all.
Olympics: Djokovic and Federer to battle for gold
World Tour Finals: no idea

AO - Simon defeats Ferrer in 5 set epic.
RG - Nishikori finally breaks through to win his first GS. Or Thiem.
W - Federer wins #18 and #8.
USO - Any maiden slam winner. Preferably someone who hasn't been on the tour for long. Someone steadily rising up the rankings.

Federer winning the calendar Grand Slam is my ideal 2016 season, but to be more realistic:

AO: Murray
RG: Federer
W: Murray
USO: 1st-time slam winner

There's no doubt Djokovic's support on these boards is growing....only to be expected though I guess!!

My ideal season would be something like:

AO - Hewitt to make a deep run (love him to win but probably unreaslistic), Final Kyrigos/Tomic v Murray (happy with either to win)
RG - Nadal v Fed Final with Fed winning a classic (Don't want to be too fanboyish but would just love Fed to get a RG title by beating Nadal - happy for Djokovic to win in 2017)
W - Fed v Kyrigos/Kokkinakos/Tomic - Fed to win and claim stand alone record at Wimbledon with 8 titles.
USO - Murray v Stan (based on above scenarios Murray will either be on 3 Slams or both will be on 2 so battle will be for Murray to either pull ahead by 2 or Stan to keep pace at 3 apiece or alternatively will be chance for either to move ahead of other). If not these 2 I'd be happy seeing soem of younger generation getting first crack - maybe one up against Djokovic.

OG - Final Fed v Australian (Happy to concede a gold for the country provided Fed can finally claim a singles Gold).
WTF - Would love to see Nadal finally win.

AO: Kyrgios to get defaulted in the 1R then get banned for a month (just for fun). Winner: Hewitt defeats Tomic in final.
FO: Ferrer finally wins his first slam defeating Nadal in the final. (Come on, that would be pretty cool having Ferrer finally defeat Nadal at the FO after Nadal has defeated him numerous times at the French)
Wimb: Tomic defeats Djokovic after Djokovic defeats Fed in the SF.
USO: Bad boy Kyrgios defeats Djokovic in the final.
OG: Federer gets revenge over Djokovic Wimbledon loss and wins the Gold.
WTF: Djokovic beats Tomic (revenge)

Actual:
AO: Djokovic
FO: Djokovic (finally)
Wimb: Fed or someone new
USO: Stan
OG: Federer

Sickeningly sadistic. Let's see what sort of losing streak Federer can muster in Slam finals. How exciting.
