2019 ATP Year-End Top 10

Hmm that is a tough prediction...

1. Djokovic
2. Zverev
3. Nadal
4. Thiem
5. Federer
6. Khachanov
7. Cilic
8. Coric
9. Nishikori
10. Anderson

I am not sure if Delpo will be able to compete at the higjest level. I almost put murray in there as he could climb back the rankings pretty fast. Tsitsipas could also get in there. And who knowsy maybe Stan will be back in the top10??

Ballsy Murreee! I dont see kyrgios getting nowhere. Shaps is still young and inconsistant. Tsitsi can definitely make it but I expect him to stagnate next year. I love his game so I hope I am wrong.

I find it interesting which Next Gen players you're going on all in on Murreee. You're higher on Tsitsipas and particularly Shapovalov than I am (plus Kyrgios), while I am going more towards Khachanov, Medvedev and Coric. Curious what made you put those two ahead of the pack. I'm higher on Tsitsipas but Shapovalov's lack of a return game worries me

I agree with Adunar that Del Porto is a risk. Hoping the back injury he suffered in Shanghai doesn't linger. I kept him since his level was so good in 2018 but it's entirely possible that he could drop out if he has issues staying healthy next year

I think Chung has a chance. As you said, the big variable will be his health. I like his game and potential, just kept him off since him staying healthy is a question mark

IDK about Coric and consistency.  The whole I'll Beat Feddy In Halle followed by Losing In The First Round of Wimbledon thing has be spooked on him.  Feeling like another Dimitrov, where you just don't know when he'll start to struggle.

But IDK, I also just don't LIKE Coric, so there's that to consider.  Generally the players that I don't like are the ones who perform better in the long term.  Maybe I'm imagining that.

I'm worried Del Potro is missing Australia. Never a good sign to start the year. De Minaur interests me, I love his game style and think he's really fun to watch, just worry about the lack of offensive weapons (although speed is still a weapon IMO)

My Chung prediction is looking amazing

So let's look back at our predictions now that the Top 10 is settled!

Four of us submitted picks: Myself, Tono, Adunar, and Murreee (who submitted twice). I had 6/10, Tono and Adunar had 5/10. Murree's original was 5/10 then he added Medvedev when he submitted his revised list (Although it came after Brisbane where Medvedev made the final)

We all we're pretty similar. We all hit on the same 4 (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Zverev).  Here were the ones we hit on:

Thiem (Everyone but Murreee)

Tsitsipas (Only Murreee, nice job being right on him)

Medvedev (Myself and Murreee, though only if we count his list which came after the start of the year). I remember thinking Medvedev was underrated so glad to have hit on this one

We all missed Berrettini, Monfils, and RBA. Which were all surprising in their own way so no shame in missing those.

Here were the ones we thought would land in the Top 10 who didn't:

Del Potro (Everyone but Adunar) who I believe was rightfully worried about Delpo staying healthy

Nishikori (Everyone): Not a terrible miss, just a bad year at the tour level and still finished 13

Khachanov (Everyone but Murreee): We all were pretty high on him after he won Bercy

Cilic (Everyone): Anyone know what he's dealing with? I heard he has some kind of injury but has been playing through it

Coric (Adunar): Not a bad pick, I definitely considered him last year

Anderson (Everyone but me): Injury mulligan for everyone

Kyrgios, Murray, and Shapovalov (Part of Murree's original list but moved off the Jan list)
