2013 Tennis-X Year-end Top 10 Contest — Enter Now Dammit!

You think you know your stuff? The order the “Big 4?” will finish in 2013, which veterans will drop out of the Top 10 and which young bucks will make their marks? Whether Novak Djokovic will mistakenly eat a gluten sundae and miss the Australian Open sitting on the toilet?

If you’ve got the stuff, then show it by entering the 2013 Tennis-X Year-end Top 10 contest, where the winner will receive a fabulous, fabulous, FABULOUS prize pack, the finalists will be touted, and the suck pickers will be vilified.

In 2012 two contestants picked the ENTIRE Top 10, for the first time ever. But don’t worry, we don’t see that happening again.


So pick your Top 10, and place them carefully. An example:

1. The guy who doesn’t eat bread
2. The muscle-y Spaniard
3. The GOAT
4. The pasty kid
5. The Spanish Michael Chang
6. The Greatest
7. The Slam choker
8. The guy with the shaky forehand
9. The guy with the tats
10. The other other Spaniard

Just kidding, use real names, their full names. Or your entry gets tossed. Post your Top 10 here in the comment section of this story before the first ball is hit in the 2013 season, and you’re in. Not even an entry fee! Good luck and happy holidays!

NOTE: Only your first entry will be accepted.

Boy lots of peeps with egg on there faces here if Rafa and Fed come in 1 and 2(either way). Colin07 will be looking good. So little faith of the top 2 players in the last decade or so….no?

Sienna Says:

It’s gonna be even closer between Fed and Djoker because this year there is no Olympic and Fed is making even more about the clay swing with the the later start in the year.

Murray may be closer also but he can also be a little over his head woth his new position although I like the Lendl method.

I feel sorry for the Nadafans. He is turnig a corner every other week it seems.
I just dont see him reversing his mental dip and lack of confidence. I feel the clay winnings are faltering this year so what remains is just in or outside top 10.
I give him the kudos because I like him to just clips the top 10 at 9.

Seeing as Nadal won’t start playing now until Acapulco, No.4 might be ambitious but then again, he has virtually no points to defend after the FO.

wilfried you might want to revise 8 and 9 on your list there ;)


BT Says:

Bit late too Brisbane started 9-10 hours ago.


BT Says:

Scratch my last comment. It was only the doubles today :P


Wilfried-b Says:

@ BT
I’m not really inclined to revise my view, BT. Sorry.
Roger is at times making more errors with his FH than with his BH. You should re-watch for instance the AO 2012 match between Federer and Nadal and you’ll understand what I’m talking about. (By the way, I don’t make a distinction between forced and unforced errors, because this distinction is not always so easy to make in my eyes).
As for “the guy with the tats”, I don’t understand too well what it means exactly. So you could be right that it’s incorrect to put Djokovic’s name at number 9.


BT Says:

Not sure what you are talking about. You have Roger and Novak in your list twice!! You are listing your predications for the 2013 year end top 10 right? Not your interpretation of the example given?
