Predictions for the 2010 Season
Posted: Fri Dec 4, 2009 6:34 am
With the end of the 2009 season, I thought I'd start a thread for predictions on next year. Hopefully this turns out better for me than my prediction that Ernests Gulbis would be the breakthrough player of 2009. 
For 2010:
Australian Open winner: Roger Federer
Roland Garros winner: Novak Djokovic
Wimbledon winner: Roger Federer
U.S. Open winner: Novak Djokovic
Breakthrough player: Sam Querrey
Year-end number 1: Novak Djokovic
Obviously, I see Djokovic taking a step forward next year. He had a strong finish to the season and I think he's showing signs of becoming more mature and confident on the court, which is the main thing holding him back from being a serious challenger for the top spot. Really though, the top 5 or 6 are likely to be very tight next year.
