The drama draws you in and leaves you breathless when you watch something special. 2015 was another year for Rafael Nadal to be on the receiving end of an early round upset and it is hard not to feel sympathy for the Spaniard, who is working so hard to get back to his best.

A host of big names endured struggles of their own in the women’s game, with early exit for heavyweights Simona Halep and Eugenie Bouchard showing that there are no guarantees in tennis. The fact that top seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams also came within a whisker of exiting the tournament shows that nothing is impossible.

Here at Lob and Smash we have endeavoured to draw our own conclusions on the fascinating fortnight of tennis. To do so, the writers have each shared their own opinions on a variety of topics, adding their two cents to the key questions now that the tournament has run it’s course.
