3. Actually, no...

I fear Rafroid will win it all.

Poor Roger is seeded 7th!!!!! Tells you how bad his year has been.

[TBF]

4. Best case scenario -

Juan Martin gets tired of it all - comes out swinging - and gets himself another major.

That is the best scenario I can possibly come up with for this week.

And even that is a stretch.

5. He could do it...

Can't see Djoker doing it or Murray doing it if a few of the others...like DelPotro...play well...
