@@moyo7873 That's debatable to me. Novak still won 2 titles in 1st half of 2017 (the 2nd half he wasn't playing), Doha final against Murray and Eastbourne. He reached the final in Rome, and - as bad as 2017 was for his standards - he played a masterclass in Rome semis against Thiem (6:1, 6:0), against Thiem who defeated Nadal a day before. Absolutely 1 of Novak's best matches ever, not only on clay - he didn't have a match like that so far in 2024. Obviously AO and RG he played better this year. Let's see how he's gonna perform at Wimbledon now (if he's gonna play at all) - so the comparision for 1st half of both seasons will be complete.

Next outs: Rublev, Tsitsi, Musetti, Shelton 10. Korda 9. Paul 8. Grigor 7. Hubi 6. Zverev 5. Demon 4. Meddy 3. Novak 2. Sinner 1. Alcaraz

I'd take Sinner over Alcaraz. If Sinner had had longer to recover from the injury before the French Open, I think he would have beaten Alcaraz at the French. And I think Alcaraz is better suited to clay than grass especially against Sinner. His forehand needs time to take over the point. Sinner's depth will pin him back at Wimbledon. And the serve and return are more important at Wimbledon and Sinner's are just better.

I think I have to go with Gruskin on what principles should underlie the power rankings as opposed to the draw preview. Although the power rankings should incorporate evidence, of course, they should ultimately be more subjective and allow for more license to go with intuition, gut feeling, etc. After all, we already have the ATP rankings, which are entirely objective and evidence-based, so power rankings should be something else. As Gruskin points out, the draw preview has the benefit of giving you the draw to work with, and so the draw preview should be as close as possible to a set of predictions--presumably evidence-based--of the likely matchups.

As Gill said, that 10% more magic he has, the way he came on the scene, against back to back goats. Youngest no1 of all time. The prodigy, Carlos Alcaraz. My concern is how hard it is to win RG and wimby back to back. Plus to defend this title, only the goats have done. Sinner looks in great form but if Alcaraz reaches the final and plays him, I edge Carlitos. Bo5 beast, killer mentality. Babygoat.

Gill is distinguishing the difference between menisectomy and meniscal repair. The former have a quicker recovery if just a small shave out of injured peripheral tissue. Repair can take months to rehab.

My contenders: Sinner, Djokovic, Alcaraz, Hurkacz, Berretini, and Raonic, Kyrgios even if they don't compete, because no one else is in contention, ye some filler will get to QF, cool. For now I predict Djokovic vs Sinner final. It's tough to pick a winner, since there's a lot of question marks. I give Novak the edge if he makes the 2nd week. Final I think go to 5 sets, Novak will be in trouble in the middle, but eventually get a 2:0 start in the fifth set, unlike last year and I think Sinner will struggle more. Alcaraz I think he is having problems and needs some rest. I need more evidence that Sinner and Alcaraz can replicte their best performances. Novak just has an incredible track record, and I think decline and age matters less on grass. Hurkacz I could also see win, as a possibility, but he will need some luck and probably win a lot of tiebreakers

For the French open, my thinking was Novak was rusty and generally off his game so I did not expect him to go far. Alcaraz was also rusty and his forearm was very much in question so no way would he go far! Same with Sinner. Hadn’t played much. Also had injury concerns with his hip so like Alcaraz, he wasn’t going far on his least favorite surface! How wrong I was. Sinner could not have looked more comfortable on clay and was not too far away from winning this thing On grass, Sinner has the game to win multiple titles and has given Novak all he can handle in the past so I love his chances this year Yet Carlitos is the defending champion having a career defining 5 set win over Novak last year at SW19 Novak is coming off a knee scope. This is typically a 4-6 week recovery for most mortals and here we are. He’s arrived at Wimbledon and it looks like it’s possible he can be close to 100% and may play. Can he be ready? Can he compete? Based on his performance this year, the obvious answer is no but here’s what we know about Novak; he needs something to prove. He needs to be chasing something or someone. That has defined his entire career and he settled all questions and vanquished all doubters with his 3 Grand Slams last year to become the Grand Slam king and obliterate most of Federers records Since January 1, Novak has been lost. No purpose. No meaning to his game because he literally entered this season with nothing left to prove and 2024 has quickly become the Lost season. I think things have changed in the last month. Novak has been written off and Sinner and Alcaraz have been elevated to the players to beat with Novak having been left in the dust This is the best thing that could have happened to him because for the first time in a year, he now has something to prove

This is nonsense. If he is healthy, he will win some matches. May be quarters or semis. That's it. If Alcaraz had won queens, Novak would have rested for Wimbledon. Now he sees light in a very long tunnel. He is overestimating his past dominance and coming into this tournament.

I think you underestimate Sinner's level on grass. I don't think Alcaraz could stand a chance if he meets him on this surface. He already lost to him 3-1 when Sinner wasn't even close to his actual level. Grass is simply too quick of a surface to let Alcaraz play his slower rythm against Sinner. Truth is Alcaraz matchup with Sinner is far worse than with Djokovic, so last year's final proves very little. If they ever meet this year in Wimbledon, it's gonna be 3-0 fair and straight for Sinner.

I would never count Novak out. There’s rumors going around on X that he didn’t even have knee surgery? Don’t if that’s true or not cause who believes everything you read on X? I hope Alcaraz wins. I would love to see someone go back to back other than the big 3. Sinner is boring. I’d rather watch paint dry than see him win another grand slam.
