Tennis is extremely unpredictable, as we all know. It’s hard to predict what will happen a month into the future, let alone a year. So, in typical nonsensical fashion, we thought it would be fun to each give 20 predictions about the coming season (anything tennis-related). Each time one of our predictions fail, we’ll cross it out. At the end of the year, we’ll see which of us is the best prognosticator.
Feel free to post your own predictions in the comments and see if you can beat us!

Stella – I diggidity dig your predictions, except I don’t want #9 to come true. I will get egged for this, but I’m nowhere near the JMDP bandwagon.
I’m not a huge fan of DelPo either but I really think is going to happen. He won a slam and he made a Masters 1000 final already that’s why I made that prediction. I just don’t want it to be on clay,those are for Rafa
I totally think is going to be on a hard court maybe Canada or Cincinnati.
1. Fed will be Slamless

19. Emily will get a picture with both Sam and Tree making her feel really short
20. Emily will graduate from high school on May 22
Ana is NOT getting engaged to Adam.
She was already asked if she would get married in 2010 and she said “Definitely Not”. She won’t break up either (I dont think.) Or maybe she will, and start dating me.
“Dick will suck” LOL. Yeah, that sounds about right.
I also love “Muzz will drop out of the Top 5,” but who do you think would replace him? Not Dick, if he’s sucking XD
Well, #1 is wrong and #5 is still right. #15 is right.
1. Rafa will win 2 Slams.

Emma: I forgot to add Nando & Feli to the last prediction! I don’t think you will mind :p
Curtis: See? Only positive vibes for Ana!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your avie and your #11 prediction. Naked Nando FTW! If that happened, I wouldn’t care if Fed won all the slams XD. I’m serious <3

If prediction #12 is right and Ana does win a slam, I am going do die of over-excitement and I want you to predict the lotto numbers for me. lol Can you lend me some of that optimism? I need it.
#2 makes sense on many levels – I like it. #17 cracked me up, although I doubt Feli would actually do that since it might mess up his hair.

1. Fed will win only 1 Slam
2. Rafa will win at least 1 (i have no preference at the mo)

Oh Parker. I love those predictions (except 15 and 11) so much I could offer a complimentary BJ. But I won’t.
*hugs* will have to do.
Thanks for #20!
What about 14?
I predicted that as well. I mean, I’m not happy with it, I’d love it if he failed to win a slam, but I think he’ll get one. I really do.
I don’t love my #15 either because I like Gael, but “I Gotta Feeling” =/
And everyone knows I hate Fed too, but unfortunately I think he will get his number 16 =/ =/
A slam final for Ana? Easy on the drinks there lil’P.
Love prediction #19, LOL.
Curt, I’m trying *really* hard to be optimistic. Really.
I forgot how much I loved your JT avatar. I hope #18 does come true that would be epic. We must remember that Serena is on probation, can you imagine the scandal. Please God let it happen.
Thanks for #20 much love *hugs*

I guess prediction 18 wont happen then.
That’s prediction is too easy we know is going to happen. Rafa won’t do it. Feli, Tommy and Nando already did it. So Fingers crossed that is Ferru and not someone like Almagro,ewwww.
I like # 18! Please Sven, make it happen.
I love 11 and 13 and 17 too
AND 20 is pure win!
1. I will finish in the bottom 10% in Tennis-pool.com
2. Rafa will win French Open.
3. Rafa’s only slam title will be French Open.
4. Roger will NOT win a slam.
5. Roddick will make a slam final.
6. At least two of the ATP slam winners will be first timers.
7. 2010 will end with a new ATP world #1 (not Rafa or Fed.)
8. Venus will NOT win a slam.
9. Dina will win French Open.
10. Vika will win a slam
11. Vika will end 2010 in top 5.
12. Gilles will continue to get “mad-hand” when he is not playing well.
13. Justine Henin will re-retire after not winning AO.
14. Nando will date at least two top 50 WTA players.
15. A picture will be leaked of Nando and Feli that make us all question what their relationship really is.
16. They will down play it and both begin to date Spanish models.

18. Sometime in the fall they will come out on the cover of Spanish Vogue.
19. I will have vivid and graphic dreams about their relationship.
20. I will like them.
BONUS!!!!
21. I will also have vivid and graphic dreams of choking one of my 6 year old students.
They are some interesting predictions! Espesh the Felando ones! XD
after seeing Feli serenade Nando with “With or Without You”, after the DC finals, i think predictions 15-18 are pretty much reality
They totally have that famous vid, I even have a gif of it. Feli is allegedly dating Cristiano Ronaldo’s left overs, and of course she’s a model XD
Oh man, do you mean Nereida or whatever her name was? Cos if so, I hope Feli has better sense than that. She was a trainwreck!
Feli back together with his much older (I think she’s 35 or so) on-again, off-again girlfriend Maria José Suarez, not Ronaldo’s ex. I dunno where that rumour came from. Feli & Maria José were together at the opening of the PortAventura a couple weeks ago. She mixed the Davis Cup final for, get this, a ski trip with her friends. What a keeper.
But yes, he is with her, not any of Cristiano’s leftovers.
Thank God. Feli and his hot cougar are still together. When I saw the rumor I totally thought he was downgrading.
first week of the year and
10. RAndy will play his heart out for Team USA but be let down by fellow players
is already wrong… =P
