1. Djokovic – what person on the planet believes otherwise, barring accident or injury??

[the gap between Novak and my other choices is intetional]

2. Andy Murray – Novaks most formidable, consistent rival, not Stan or Fed.

3. Rafa Nadal (Comeback time! Fine as long as the sucker stays clear of winning the Gold or the majors.)

4. Stan Wawrinka.

5. Federer, who by his reduced scheduling, isn’t a part of the contenders for #1 in 2016, but he is a great in a glorious twilight – and cannot be lumped in with the distant chase pack.

The chase pack, so far behind they aren’t chasers of the super Serb or Andy anymore. Very similar to the “chase pack” in racing sports – so far behind they have no shot at Top 3 – but politely called the chase pack rather than the pack of obvious also rans trailing the leaders.

6. Berdych (I so want to drop him – but even though he chokes and is worthless on the biggest matches..he beats the lower ranked players consistently. And so gets yet another year plateau-ing in the mid-Top 10 rankings)
7. Ferrer (Who I respect more than Berdych because he is an overachiever who exceeded all expectations of early coaches and Spanish tennis sponsors).
8. Milos Raonic.
9. Juan Martin del Potro
10. Kei NIshikori

Yes, 2 fine Frenchies drop out – Gasquet and Jo Tsonga. Sad! And my picks for 7-10 could be swapped out individually or even all 4 not make the final list and I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Not surprised if Kevin Anderson, Isner (please! no!!), Kyrgios, the Human Tank Machine Tomic, Gasquet surprises us again, Paire, Cilic, even free falling Grigor gets in the 7-10 spots.
But I will go and likely fail with – Ferrer, Raonic, dark horse Delpo, and Kei.

December 21st, 2015 at 7:45 pm

@tennismonger,

My pleasure:)

December 21st, 2015 at 8:09 pm

Kimberly,
Can you do me a favor and swap those GS, instead of last two, Nole for the first two, if that’s not a big trouble?

December 21st, 2015 at 8:15 pm

Wog Boy – careful! Remember the creation of the Fedtards was from days when fans, writers, and even Fed hiself was awash in hubris. Roger, the religious experience…..
I think Novak himself is careful not to be afflicted with a severely swollen head from unchecked ego. Humble like Rafa, but with more of a temptation, I think, to want to be seen and loved as bigger than life. He works hard to resist it, and his family and inner circle helps keep him grounded in reality. His fans justly relish the blossoming of his highest level talent into becoming an All-time Great in the past 5 years – but don’t go the Fedtard route!! Don’t think NOle a God, or that all life is subsumed on the biggest issue humanity deals with – “Is Fed (NOLE) the real GOAT??”

As a long-time Djokovic fan, a non-Serb, I just want him to play great for many more years, have many more classic matches with players that can truly test him. Even with some noble defeats that show the quality of his character..
But all too soon, his time as a pro at the top of his game will end. But when it is over – to finish his (long!) career arc happy and fully satisfied with his achievements in tennis. And then have a very meaningful, good life after tennis ends as a husband, father, and doer of noteworthy work and deeds off the tennis court.

Novak’s unbeaten run at the top shall END next year
He will leave and reenter the number one spot from the summer onwards to begin with.
But won’t make it to the YENO spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, you heard it here first.

Okay, there might be a teensy bit of wishful thinking mixed in there

RG Andy defeats Rafa
Wimbles Andy defeats Fed
USO Andy defeats Stan
So nerneenahnah! ;)

December 22nd, 2015 at 12:55 pm

#1 should be either Novak or Andy. Since Novak is far more consistent (read a better player) I’ll go with him.
Roger even with his reduced schedule should still be around 4-5. Nadal should move into #3 spot, he’s too good for the rest of the field. Everybody else, that’s just a crap shot.

2. Andy

margot check your maths. if andy wins the calendar slam methinks he’ll be #1, the big kahuna daddy! ;)

jalep i’d like to see paire up higher too. i keep wondering if dimitrov will rise next year, due to post-sharpie mode?

December 22nd, 2015 at 1:09 pm

Go Mystic Meg! Calendar Grand Salami!! And beating the bleating GOATS and Stanimal along the way. Cheers, Margot…

December 22nd, 2015 at 1:17 pm

jane, it’s tempting to get hopes up for Benoit, Grigor, Bernie, Nick the kid, ect…

It may take Grigor longer than expected to find himself…hope so but…have seen too many cases like him. Geez, I still have hope for Gulbis!

December 22nd, 2015 at 1:29 pm

Mystic Meg is unfortunately too long in the tooth now. 😳🤒

December 22nd, 2015 at 1:35 pm

I’m sure I will be completely wrong as I have been off my prediction game for most of this year, but here goes:

1. Novak Djokovic
2. Andy Murray
3. Rafael Nadal
4. Roger Federer
5. Stan Wawrinka
6. Kei Nishikori
7. David Ferrer
8. Tomas Berdych
9. Milos Raonic
10. David Goffin

December 22nd, 2015 at 1:51 pm

Too late now, but some “prediction” lists award points not just for the top players or teams list, but points (or bookie money)for predicting their proper placement.
It might make it even more fun for a tennis Top 10 list prediction.
You get 5 points for each player you guess right will make the list. But you also get 4 points for getting the #1 Right, 3 for places 2-5, and 2 for getting the right final place of pros 6-10. Like predicting Stan as #5 will get you 3 points if he does place #5, but zero if he finishes #6. You could miss a player on the list but still win if you have the finishing order of the other 9 right and win over someone 10 for 10, but who has the placement wrong for several players.

As an aside, I like the 2 Rafa fans picking him as #1 vs. the rest of us placing Nole as #1. Even though Nole is with 16.6K vs Nadal’s 2015 end of 5.2K – 11,355 points ahead of Rafa at present. Stay with your guy Rafa, but be real that Rafa will have a long uphill slog and have to take away titles from Nole, Andy, and Stan..

Chrisford1
Actually the 2016 year end #1 will depend on how many points the player wins in 2016. All the points won in 2015 will drop off by next year end. So the huge points difference of 11000+ in 2015 is irrelevant for calculating next year’s #1.

December 22nd, 2015 at 10:04 pm

Here are my top 10:

1) djoker
2) Rafa
3) muzza
4) wawa
5) fed

8) tssongga
9) Canadian raonic

December 22nd, 2015 at 11:26 pm

Tell him lakie, tell him..

December 22nd, 2015 at 11:47 pm

I was with my 10th place spot….Anderson or Goffin….went with Kevin……

December 23rd, 2015 at 12:23 am

lakie may not be aware he is stating the obvious. Except for the WTF, its a rolling 365.
But being #1 with a huge lead allows Djoker many advantages. 1st round byes forever, night games in Australia, the luxury of looking waaaay behind him and seeing who might be making a move and have the leisure to retool if needed before that rising player even gets close to Nole’s point total. And the seedings matter in the quality of player you face in the earlier rounds.
All factors making 2015 rankings relevant to success in 2016. For the same reason, Andy’s #2 ranking is a big plus – he now cannot meet Nole in an earlier round than the Finals of any event for a long time in 2016, in all likelihood. (Unless Fed wins Brisbabe, the AO, IW…before skipping 4 Masters.)

December 23rd, 2015 at 12:30 am

Good points CF1.
Roger is defending Brisbane so he can’t gain any points there, but will most likely gain fair bit of points at AO due too early departure last year as foe IW he is defending final. By the time FO comes he might drop few places.
I believe Andy is pretty safe at #2 for the time being.

December 23rd, 2015 at 12:55 am

Chrisford1
Obviously when you claimed the huge points diferential would make it difficult for Nadal to be #1, you were confused and making a wrong statement.
Previous year’s WTF points drop off too although the 52 weeks does not apply.
“The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, is dropped on the Monday following the last regular-season ATP event of the following year”
Also it is 52 weeks and not 365 days for the other ranking points.

December 23rd, 2015 at 12:59 am

Tell him lakie, tell him…

December 23rd, 2015 at 1:04 am

The huge points differential of 2015 impacts only the 2016 rolling ranking,not the 2016 year end #1.

December 23rd, 2015 at 1:06 am

lakie – The points renew on a rolling 365, or 52 weeks if you wish to go by the official ATP weekly ranking list.
Of course you are right that the points from Dec 2015 drop in Dec 2016. Like Jan 2015 go away with Jan 2016. And in July? Same story. But week in and week out in 2016, it is a race with a guy 8,000+ points ahead of the other players. Djokovic is in his prime, he is so far, a true ironman showing week in and week out excellence. The most consistent player on Tour.
As his longtime friend and countryman Janko Tipsarevic said: “I know Novak very well. He wants to hold #1 a long, long time.”
As 2016 starts soon, his point cushion allows him to strategize. He can focus on the big events and maybe not strive so hard at the Masters for a bit, because no one is going to get close to him for some time. Even if he drops points and skips Madrid again and tosses out going to one of the two Masters that bracket the Olympics.
His job to remain #1 is made easier by Fed playing a reduced schedule and foregoing many points, Rafa still not at a level he was when he and Nole would split wins. And Andy is likely to lose points to be with his wife when the baby comes.
Djokovic is also focused. He ended 2015 highly stoked to continue to improve his game, win big in 2016. Guy is in perfect health, and only took a 1 week holiday in Dec so he could do some hard training and conditioning work. If he somehow gets the AO and the FO, as Wog Boy and I agree are the two most important to win together for a Grand Slam (non-calendar)year end #1 is all but sealed provided he just plays consistent as usual and makes the Masters, the WTF, and other 2 Slam semis at least.

December 23rd, 2015 at 3:57 am

CF1, Very good post about the seeding aspect of 52 week Ranking. Well explained as to the 52 week ranking providing a lush cushion of points for Nole. It’s not an irrelevant ranking system at all.

lakie, the 52 week ranking is there to determine who will be seeded where for upcoming tournaments, as you know, and those seeds have earned their spot based upon results from 2015. However if a player fails to defend his 2015 wins in 2016, points will drop off and eventually will alter his seed placement for upcoming tournaments in 2016. In Nole’s and Serena’s cases their point leads are ridiculously huge! That in itself would carry them a long way through 2016 seeded at #1. In Serena’s case, well, I’m not sure how motivated and in shape she’ll come out. In Nole’s case, I’m certain he’ll take full advantage as front-runner. The ball is in both Serena’s and Nole’s court, so to speak.

Rafa’s ranking points are over 3 times less than Nole’s. But if Rafa wins AO, well, that’s exactly what he needs to do. He’d be #1 in the race to London. AO win could move him ahead of Stan and seeded 4th not 5th in the 52 week rankings, depending on how well Stan does at AO. The goal for Rafa would be getting to 4th seed, if not by February, at least soon enough for FO, I should think. I predict he’ll be seeded #4 or maybe #3 by FO. But that prediction is based on Stan having a slower start to the new year than Rafa, and Federer’s reduced schedule.

I’ll go with the usual suspects and give Bercy and Ferrer one last hurrah in top 10,at the bottom and give Raonic and Dimitrov a leap of faith, bold move.

The most overhyped news of December was Federer not listing any clay court tournaments before Roland Garros. If he’s playing well, he will enter at least one Masters Series event on clay. Doesn’t matter what he lists in December.

Nadal looked pretty good after the U.S. Open, but there’s still something missing.

Hard to see anyone who’s never finished in the top 10 doing it this year. The only player I considered but did not pick was Cilic. Fognini has top 10 talent but will never be consistent enough or motivated enough.

lapinroyal – Your reply is absolutely well taken. If a difficulty factor weighed in for 2016, deciding who would be #8, #9 and #10 is absolutely harder than selecting 1,2,3 in order in assigning points for placement.
All I can say is in a normal year, choosing who would be #1 and who is #2 is a lot harder thing to do than it will be in 2016.
You also have to weigh interest.
Who will finish in the Top 4 or so obvviously outweighs interest in the placement of the places 7-10 pros.
And it emulates other sports betting like American NCAA Basketball, horse racing, where the order the top 3-4 finish in is obviously more a focus than correctly predicting what horse finishes 6th or what university in what conference has their illiterate athletes make it to the round of 32.

Sean, I have to correct your grammar. I just can’t let it go.

For #4 and 5 where you say whose, you really should say who’s, as that is short for “who is”.

Whose refers to ownership, as in:
“Whose trophy is that?”
“Novak Djokovic’s of course!”

Big Four Reunion. Too many people dropping Ferrer! He’s not going to disappear that fast.

I’d like to pick Coric and Thiem, but I think this is the year they’ll break into the seeds, another year to crack top ten.
