It has been a while since Serena has won the AO. I think she will hungry like she was for the French last year

I feel like Murray's back injury definitely helps Djokovic out a little bit because he's obviously not 100% yet. Fed is a trainwreck , Ferrer is just Ferrer and will probably never win a slam, Hard courts are just not Nadal's thing so it just HAS to be Djokovic winning idk! I would die if Wawrinka, Tsonga, or Del Potro won though but I don't see that happening
Yeah, I don't see Murray winning this year's AO. Ferrer is not even in the picture. Those three, Wawrinka, Tsonga and Del Potro, have no chance at all
For Rafa, I don't think he will win, but I won't bet against him.

I honestly also think it'll be Serena too Vika didn't end her season very well and I don't know if she's completely confident and Serena is just TOO good rn. I'd honestly be okay with either of them winning though. If I had to pick someone to win other than them I think it'd have to be Aga or Li Na
I like Li Na, but it's very frustrating to see her commit so many unforced errors. Aga is just too weak.

Sigh yeah I know there's no chance lmao I just want to see someone new win, Men's tennis is getting kinda stale with the exception of a few freak upsets
Li Na is definitely frustrating to watch, I'm hoping her win @ Shenzhen will give her some confidence and help her focus or something...idk, she's made the finals twice like I hope she wins it eventually. Now that I think about it I agree with you about Aga
(Was only a casual tennis fan until the last few years.)
The lack of impact
Then, it's understandable. Kournikova was forced to retire at 22(!!!). That was young, very young. And it's a pity you weren't there toi know what was going on.She was the most popular sports star in the world, ahead of Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods back in 1999,2000 and 2001.And her tennis...every tennis expert will confirm she was extraordinarily talented. The problem was she couldn't cope with the huge ammount of pressure and had some major injuries (incl 5 differnt cracks in her spine). Throughout her VERY SHORT career she did beat some of the best like Hingis, Capriati, Davenport, Martinez, Seles. Was the youngest player ever to win a match in FedCup, was #1 in doubles and #8 in singles. That's not bad, really.
If you have some time, watch these(all videos crap quality, sadly)
Beating Graf on grass
Beating Capriat at YEC
Beating Davenport in Miami
Beating Hingis in Berlin
Taking Venus Williams to three sets in Miami Final (the match that could've changed everything if she won)
And this is my favourite!The interviewer was an idiot.
Anna Kournikova looks pretty. I can see why she was popular.
@ that interview.

I completely agree with you on Men's tennis. I don't see any major upsets in this coming AO; Top players have fresher legs since it's just the beginning of the season.
Unfortunately, Li Na's chance was last year. Yeah, I believe Serena's second serve is even better/stronger than Aga's first.
King Nadal already with a title. This is gonna be too easy. Tied with Federer by the end of the year. Djokovic will retire after US Open from sheer frustration.
