No one knows what will happen next year for the rest of the ATP tour, but one thing is for sure, four big-names will be contesting the four big tournaments. Followers of this year's tour need no explanation: Nadal, Federer, Murray and Tsonga...okay, okay...it's Djokovic.
The four finalists of this year's slams will battle it out again next year. No one knows what the results will be, except the French. Nothing is guaranteed in life except a tombstone and taxes...and Nadal winning the French Open.
Federer fans will be disappointed once again that the great one didn't win the French Open in 2009. Nadal fans will almost be bored at him lifting another trophy.
Hey Federer fans, if you watched the 2008 finals, you can't really fancy Federer's chances of beating the Clay Hammer.
When it comes to the hard courts, the field has been blown wide open: four players open. Murray, Djokovic, Federer and Nadal are all racket to racket when it comes to the hard surfaces.
Federer is still ahead of the field in terms of skill and experience on hard court, but his health and fitness is now a major concern. A few years can make a lot of difference. What once healed over night now sets you back five days!
All four are capable of taking home the hard court tournaments but I can't really see anyone other than Tsonga with the firepower and streaky-ness to maybe upset one of them. (Possibly Djokovic.)
At Wimbledon, I really can't see anyone other than Federer and Nadal, once again, in the finals. My guess is that Federer will get sweet revenge. He will know better than to let Nadal get a lead of two sets to love.
What are your predictions for the slams next year?
