Who do you think has the best chance of winning their first Slam in 2016?

[El Dude]

Vote! I allowed for multiple options, but try to keep it to three or less - or at least those players who you think have conceivable chances of winning a Slam in 2016.

I voted for Milos--he is my first thought. If I can pick a second and third, I would say Nishikori and Tsonga next.

I picked Kei, but I am not confident anybody on this list wins one next year. If somebody does it, it will be a huge surprise, but maybe somebody on the list builds over the year and wins the USO?

Soderling is still hoping to return next year. How about he gets a wild card into Roland Garros and beats Nadal 6-0 6-0 6-0 in the first round and plows through everyone in sight all the way to the title :snicker

I don't think anyone will be plowing through Novak and likely not Nadal on clay, unless we are talking about Novak again. LOL

Nishikori and Tsonga are the first two who come to mind, but I fully expect Dimitrov to end up near the top 10 this time next year. It won't surprise me to see him make a deep run in a major.

That being said, I highly doubt anyone other than the Big Four wins a major in 2016. I think the Big Four has at least one more year at the top!

I voted "other", as I don't see any of this crew getting through the Wawrinka, Murray, Nadal, Fed, Djokovic band. Stan blasted his way into the conversation, and none of these other guys are doing that without a commensurate drop in form from the top dogs.

I thought he only had some business's projects, not a come back on court or maybe I didn't understand the article ?? tell me more about it

I voted for Gasquet and Nishikori, but I would not call them the "best" bets, but rather the "less bad" ones.

I almost clicked on Thiem but then came to my senses.

I almost clicked on Dimitrov but then I remembered 2015.

I choose Nishikori by the process of elimination. I checked everyone off and he was left. So it's not really who I think will win, but who has the least less chance. lol

Maybe I should have gone with other but who would that be? Fritz?
