Top 5 Predictions for the Rest of the 2016 Tennis Season

Novak Djokovic will go 2 for 3 in the majors the rest of the way.

Yes, Djokovic has played phenomenally for the most part this season.  I will fully concede that.  But even the Golden State Warriors stumbled sometimes, even though they became the winningest team ever. (Losing to the Lakers? No idea, either.)

Djokovic will probably stumble a few times this season.   He just did at Monte Carlo and could certainly do so again.

Given the grind of the majors, it is definitely possible he stumbles in one.  I’ll predict he does but wins two of them.

That’s not really a stretch but we will see.  I could see Andy Murray giving him a run for his money at Wimbledon or the U.S. Open.  Roger Federer could absolutely win another title at Wimbledon or the U.S. Open. I think, however, that he has to get somewhat lucky with the draw. With Nadal’s confidence after winning Monte Carlo, it would be foolish to discount the possibility that he wins Roland Garros for a tenth time. Plus, there’s always the possibility of injury, illness, or a freak bad match against an inferior opponent.  Sort of like Djokovic just had.
