2) Rafael Nadal
3) Andy Roddick
4) Leyton Hewitt
5) Djokovic

1) Maria Sharapova
2) Justin Henin
3) Venus Williams
4) Ana Ivanovic
5) Serena Williams

I hate to admit it, but I think that Federer looks likely to win this. I'm no fan of Federer as I don't believe in dominance in singles sports, but the hard court will make it difficult for Nadal to win. Roddick will choke again, and I think Djokovic need another year before he wins his first grand slam.

I don't really see women's tennis because I think they are wrong for asking for the same amount of money as men, but if I had to pick I would say Ivanovic looked good in Wimbeldon.

dude,basically am no federer fan myself,but right now,except nadal,noone seems likely to beat him..i doubt nadal's hardcourt prowess,but if federer gets matches against americans,he'll have some work cut out..in the ongoing masters event,other guys are able to put up somefight but losing in the end..roddick neds to up his game next time he meets federer nd i do see him going till the quarter's atleast..

Djokovic I think would one day be as good as Federer and Nadal. He has shown tremedous potential and is young.

 

[vickymania]

roger vs rafa,will it be the 3rd consecutive time we see these two in a grand slam final this year?? i really think we can..however,i tke this oppurtunity to wish roger belated happy birthday,,the guy just got 26! and i think he's 4 or 5 titles away from matchin sampras,am not too sure

Roger is undoubtdly the best player ever already, and he will only become better. I wonder when he would go into decline though.

 

[vickymania]

i predict by 2009,it will be over..some new guys will come on the fore..no doubt,roger and rafa will be there,but less heat on them..

 

[phantomgerald]

Djokovic will be up there I'm sure. But Federer and Nadal are the best players of the generation.

 

[Soulpower]

Its not on clay, so I'm going with Federer as he beats.... wait for it.... Rafael Nadal in the finals. I can't wait to see the American fans get excited after Roddick wins his first round match, then loses in the second-round to some unknown dude.

And I'm picking Justin-Henin Hardene (Or however its spelled) to beat Venus in the finals.

 

[phantomgerald]

I dare bet that either Federer or Nadal wouldn't make it to the finals.

Federer to win but I think Andy Murray (world number 8) will make a great impact this year

 

[vickymania]

andy murray just came from injury,i think..i doubt his chances..hewitt might be a dark horse,along with safin..in the ladies section,no one is able to stop henin as of now,but in the US open,the williams sisters are always hard to beat and do watch outfor the serb trio ( Djokovic in men, Ivanovic and Jankovic in ladies )..

 

[phantomgerald]

Andy Murray is overrated because there are not enough british players, just like Tim Hemann is just an average player. Djokovic is the best young talent but Murray gets more attention than him just because he's british.

 

[vickymania]

f****ing racism..what has it got to do with sports?? anyways,british or american or whoever else,i'll surely be supporting my country player,Sania Mirza in the ladies division..you got any players from your country in the championship,cause i dont know..

Singapore suck in tennis. We have never had a single semi-pro tennis player.
