I have the same picks at Tignor. This is probably not a good sign, because while Tignor is a lovely writer, he is a VERY poor prognosticator.

Maybe this will be the year we get 4 different Slam champions, which has only happened twice since 2004 (2012, 2014). Either way, I expect that the winners will all come from this list of players. The days of a […]

Cheryl Murray commented on the post, 2021 men's singles Grand Slam predictions 3 years, 10 months ago

FO – Nadal

USO – agree with the Meddy pick. He’s due.

Opelka won’t even get close.

I might have given Thiem player of the year, but it’s hard to argue that Djokovic is a worthy recipient.
