TP, do we have a prediction thread for 2010 grandslams winners yet?
________________________________________________________________
Nobody won last year’s. For rock people here’s how it works:
Predict winners of all Slams and get on the Wall Of Fame. If you can do that AND predict the runner-up too, you ALSO win a 2010 Mercedes Benz.
Example:
AO: Winner – Verdasco, Runner up – Nadal.
FO: Winner – Roddick, Runner up – Nadal.
Wimby: Winner – Nalbandian, Runner up – Djokovic.
USO: Winner – Nadal, Runner up – Federer.
Geeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!

No slam for Fed, yikes.
Sarah said
That’s right. 2010 will be the year Papa Federer goes slamless.
banti said
Papa Fed needs to win one for his girls! Can’t deny him that.
Just Me said
No no no..impossible!!!
jennifur said

Sol said
Interesting predictions Sarah. Especially Davy at the AO.
Here goes:
AO: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Del Potro
FO: Winner – Nadal, Runner up – Tsonga
Wimby: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Murray
USO: Winner – Djoko, Runner up – Nalbandian
jennifur said
like ur nole/nalby pick sol – hope that comes to pass.
banti said
AO: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Del Potro
FO: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Potro
Wimby: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Murray
USO: Winner –Fed, Runner up – potro
Lol.. well count me out of contention already, but these are my picks. And sorry Rafa, love you man but I’m lacking faith.
Sarah said
I’m surprised you didn’t pick Del Potro as the runner up for Wimby too. 🙂
Bettyjane said
lol Sarah, Probably because he bounced out of the competition so early last year (after a very impressive first round victory as well!!)
banti said
Yeah his grass game isn’t the best:)
Jenny said
Del Potro was beaten by Lleyton Hewitt in the 2nd round, he was a grass court specialist and former Wimby champ, so no surprise there and Hewitt was playing really well this year.
Just Me said
Yes! yes, now that sounds really great!
However, FO – no Nadal?? I believe he will and can do more than that.
gilly said
Djok is going to win one but which one I don’t know.
Jill said
My thought as well
Just Me said
So, here I go with my predictions(more or less serious):
AO: Winner-Del Potro, Runner up-Federer; (Davydenko -semis?)
FO: W-Fed,RU- Nadal;
Wimbledon: W-Fed, RU-Nadal;
US Open: W-Djoko, RU-Fed (Potro in semis?)
banti said
Well balanced. ^^ likely winner.
michael v said
AO: W – Murray / ru – Fed
FO: W – Nadal / ru – Monfils
Wm: W – Fed / ru – Cilic
US: W – Djok / ru Delpo
Jenny said
I reckon Cilic will do well at Wimby.
jennifur said
me 2 jenny. good list michael. seems v/possible.
M said
He’s overdue.
Somebody Else said
AO
w: Federer (statement win)
ru: Djokovic (overcomes breathing issue)
RG
w: Nadal (barely gets to final)
ru: Del Potro (beats Fed in semis revenge)
WIM
w: Federer (on a mission for no.7)
ru: Murray (musters the nerve to reach final)
USO
w: Del Potro (golden boy repeat win over Fed in semis)
ru: Nadal (finally makes a final, but no Fed)
–Federer makes semis of all four slams again
Sarah said
“Federer makes semis of all four slams again”
That will be something, if he can do that.
M said
I’d love to see that. Roger said in an interview last year that he thought he had a good seven or eight years of pro tennis left at least. 🙂
banti said
Liking this one too. Possible winner.. I have pick the possible winners among all of you bc I have no chance in hell.
Somebody Else said
I’m rooting for a Fed calendar slam, but after 2009 blown by two 5th-set disasters to bookend his RG-Wimby double, how many more chances is he going to get?
Dee said
Oh my goodness! Geeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!! indeed.
kitty said
AO: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Roddick
FO: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Del Potro
Wimby: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Nadal
USO: Winner – Fed, Runner up – Djoker
Calendar Slam it is!! hope for the best!
kitty said
TP, the chance of predicting all four slams correctly is sooo slim
But it would be interesting if you could publish the closest predictions, just for the heck of it 🙂
O said
Pugilists like Delpo are real contenders in all slams, Nadal can still win FO if anything:
AO: Favourate: Mouthray
RG: Favourate: Mouthray
Winby: Favourate: Mouthray
UO: Favourate: Mouthray
AO: winner – Federer, Runner – Mouthray
RG: winner – Delpo, Runner – Federer
WB: winner – Federer, Runner – Nadal
UO: winner – Delpo, Runner – Federer
clifford said
I’ll give it a shot, but I think Somebody Else has it right…..
AO: Fed over Djoker
FO: Fed over Djoker
WB: Fed over Murray
USO: Delpo over Fed
Dee said
I think I am going to wait till warm up matches. Just want to see how well that Christmas pudding sits with Fed.There is no dead line is there, as long as it’s before AO?
bento said
I am not going to predict runner-ups because I might win.
AO – Federer
RG – Nadal
WO – Nadal
US – Murray
Stella said
so far you’ve got 3 right and Murray is on a tear
Ricke said
LOL. Love your example TP. Roddick winner of the FO and Nadal the USO. Priceless.
M said
Nostalgia is good too. I’m all off topic, but I’m watching Roger and Rafa play their Wimbledon 2008 final on ESPN’s Best of the Decade while my nails dry.
Happy New Year, everyone!

FO: Winner – Del Potro, Runner up – Nadal
Wimby: Winner – Federer, Runner up – Murray
USO: Winner – Federer, Runner up – Djokovic
Fed again in all 4 SF’s, but beaten by DelPo in RG, who goes on to win the title against a drained Rafa.
Murray: this year 2 Slam finals, but no luck yet.
Djokovic: Still comes up short against Fed in the USO final
Good luck!

Bluechyll, Serran, and Steph have correctly predicted the AO’10 outcome. Congrats.
Who will get the French correct???
Somebody Else said

Congrats, guys!
I might have a stab at the French when clay starts. I got Soderling wrong reaching the final last year.
Somebody Else said
