Tennis in 2007

Also fun but much more realistic are Sports Illustrated’s Predictions 2007: Tennis. They make an interesting point in stating that while our individual American players may not be taking top honors, we have Blake and Roddick and a good chance at winning the Davis Cup in 2007. Short of Nadal becoming Swiss, of course. I really like that they played it safe with the fifth prediction: Federer will win three of four majors next year. You don’t say? I wonder how many analysts spent how much time dithering over that one. I’ll even go so far as to predict that the one of four Grand Slams that Federer does not take is Roland Garros.
