Curious to see how you think it will pan out now the draw is out. My pics:

W: Djokovic

F: Murray

semis: Federer, Nadal

 

QF: Nishikori, Kyrgios, Stan, Ferrer

Dark horse: Raonic

That's like one of the old challenges:  Pick a winner, finalist, 2 semi-finalists, the QFs, and a dark horse.  That's fun.  I'll come back to you, while I decide if I can figure a way that Djokovic doesn't win it.   B-)  LOL.

Winner: Djokovic

Runner-up: Nadal

Semifinalists: Murray, Federer

Quarters: Paire, Berdych, Wawrinka, Lopez

Dark Horse:  Tomic

of course I hope for a miracle for Rafa but I don't think he is going very far here.

I am hoping all the top guns crash and stumble so Rafa can take his 15th slam but what really is the probability of that.

 

djokovic is working day and night on his game and his fitness. he is going to go through everybody here like a sharp blade through water.

luck sides with those who are most focused, most hungry, and most prepared.

Given the comments above from Moxie and Clay Death, I will propose you people a scenario:

 

W: Nadal

F: Chung

SF: Almagro, Gojowczyk

Quarters: Hewitt,Sugita,Kovalic, Bernardes

Dark Horse: Schwarztman

Wild Card: Kuerten

 

 

P.S. Trade Nadal for Federer and I am all business about it.

Ha, ha. Like it.

Chung is going to have more people riding him on that first round choice than Joan Collins.

Ha!  So rude, and so true.    Match up now.

Chung was hitting some nice shots.   Novak had some work to do out there in the heat, but dispatched the kid rather quickly.

Enjoyable match. Chung has a long way to go. Needs more consistency and a better serve, but he was outplaying Novak in some CC backhand rallies. Prompted Novak to give the kid the thumbs up. I really like the kid though.

Defintely opens the door for Bernardes though.

Sorry @denis I didn't read this thread properly as I was travelling at the time. We'll get the predictions comp organized well in advance for Paris. Good idea and something people used to enjoy on the old boards. We had a bit of fun with some NFL predictions on the Off Topic thread (at least @Billie and @Moxie did... me and @Twisted got spanked).
