First topic message reminder :

1 Djokovic, Novak (SRB)
2 Federer, Roger (SUI)
3 Murray, Andy (GBR)
4 Del Potro, Juan Martin (ARG)
5 Nadal, Rafael (ESP)
6 Tsonga, Jo-Wilfried (FRA)
7 Ferrer, David (ESP)
8 Dolgopolov, Alexandr (UKR)
9 Simon, Gilles (FRA)
10 Raonic (Can)

You may be right but I don't think he is capable of consistent enough form to string wins together. I think he will always be a player that no-one wants to be drawn against but I can't see him winning a huge number of titles.

Well huge of number of titles is one thing....but a few there and then, including a slam? I think so. He wasn't that far of winning that AO 08. TB in teh 4th...then everything is possible.

1.djokovic
2.nadal
3.murray
4.del potro
5.federer
6.tsonga
7.ferrer
8.berdych
9.roddick
10.gasquet

i think one of tsonga or delpo will win a slam next year but will not be able to play well consistently enough to get a top 4 ranking,

i think roddick will return to top 10 as olympics is at wimbledon and he has no points to defend and he has no points to defend in french either

One thing I am sure is that Roddick won't come back in the top 10. He did very well to stay that long but he hasn't got the weapons any longer....unless they decide to speed things up.

That's the question though, I think Tsonga has a bit of a "glass body" thats not up to the week-in week-out rigours of going deep in events. Think he'll do well in a few events but not go on a 'Nole-roll' as such.

Personally I can't see him stringing enough wins together to win a slam - although he may knock out a prime contender before succumbing himself. I may be proven wrong though ..... only time will tell.
