Federer. Right now the only place Nadal can beat Fed is on clay, that's not enough. Nadal will have to make a huge improvement on grass and will have to improve on hard courts to challenge Federer next year for #1. Roddick will need to get more variety in his game to be #1 or even be #2 for that matter. Hewitt just seems like he is on the decline this year. Yes, he made the Aussie Open final, Wimbledon Semi's, and US Open semi's but lost for the first time in ages to Roddick, and still isn't able to beat Federer. His year was plagued by injury but I just can't see him reach #1 or #2 for awhile or possibly never reaching that high ever again. Safin............ he might do well in some tournements but is to unpredictable to reach #1
Men: Federer
Women: Clijsters, I hope her game or mentality won´t be affected due to the fact she is wihtout a coach. It works for Federer, and I hope it will work for Kim as well.

I agree with you but think that Hewitt will do better than Roddick. Both at Wimbledon and the US Open he lost to Federer in the semi finals. Roddick didn't even have to play Fed until the final at Wimbledon, and at the US Open he lost in the 1st round, nothing that Hewitt did. I think Hewitt will be 3 and Roddick 4 or 5.

I think you misunderstood my post. By talking about Roddick first I wasn't saying he would be ranked higher than Hewitt. THose two will have to fight it our for #3 but Roddick will take some confidence into his matches with Hewitt becuase of their match in Cincinatti.
Men: Federer. I don't think there is ANY doubt about that one.
Women: Significantly harder to judge. Cjlisters, only because of the amount of tournaments she plays. I think the best player of 06' is actually going to be Venus. _________________ Tennis is in the mind...

nadal l is catching up with federer on hardcourts (for example miami this year). but the only place where nadal feels at home is on clay and that's the only place that nadal has a winning record vs federer. but then again federer is also catching up to nadal on clay, which he could possibly do. _________________

I think this is how it is. Federer's best surface is grass, and that is nadal's worst. Federer would destroy nadal on grass. Clay is nadal's best surface, and federer's worst. Nadal would beat federeron clay, but it would be much closer. On hard, they are both good at, and federer would beat nadal. So nadal has to really practice on all surfaces to keep up with federer, while fed only really has to work on clay to catch up to nadal. Tough for the spaniard!

nadal could come up with a win this year on hardcourts

nadal could pull off a win this year on hardcourts against federer _________________
I like Federer and Clijsters to be #1 in '06. Federer should still have a comfortable margin. Clijsters probably will attain the top spot because she's so consistent and now starting to win some big events. Davenport, Sharapova, and Venus could challenge but health is key for each one. They also have to win the big matches to garner the big pts.

yeah i would agree. clijters i think will end next year at #1. but if veus stays healthy and motivated to keep playing and winning *smirk* move over clijters _________________
Playing devil's advocate I bit, I love Clijsters game but she still has a way to go to convince all of us that she's the real deal. One major doesn't overturn the fact that she's been the bridesmaid a ton at the big events. Don't know how much to read into her lame performance in L.A. season finale. Maybe she was tired but when you look at someone like Federer, who still sucks it up and almost wins his last tourney, and then Clijsters lays an egg, the women's game shouldn't be scared of matching up with her next yr. Also, Clijsters dumping her coach was probably premature. I mean she's very good but she's no Federer. Very few players can do without a coach in some regards or have some of the pressure taken off by having someone to confide in during the inevitable tough spots of the season.
There are probably 4-5 women who could be #1 next yr. But injuries, consistentcy, and desire will determine who actually claims the top spot.

yeah i agree. i don't know why clijters had dumped her coach. i mean it's kind of stupid i mean how will she confide without a coach. i think it will hurt her next year, not having a coach. your also right about that she is not as good as federer and can not risk going without a coach. only federer can really go without a coach (as he did in 2004) _________________

I have to say I agree with you. Now, consistancy is more important than big wins. Hingis was 1 for years even efter she stopped winning majors, just because she played alot. She would get good results, gaining lots of points all the time. This is why davenport is still 1. Venus williams is going to be the best player in 2006 I believe, even though she will not end at 1. Injuries will determine how well she does.

this could happen because clijters does not have a coach
